ropes in a jar

The colored ropes and floating corks are beachfinds from our roadtrip in Portugal.

What started with some pieces of rope we found on the first day on the beach in Portugal, finally has grown into a collection and meanwhile we cleaned up the beach a bit.
Once home we washed the beachfinds in the bathtub and let them dry.

The collection ended up in a large glass jar and got a nice spot on our attic.

portuguese beach finds

A collection of ropes we found in the last two weeks.

During our first day on the most south-eastern beach of the Algarve, we found lots of small fishing rope pieces.
A day later we went to the Natural Park Ria Formosa (one of the 7 Natural Wonders of Portugal). On the barrier islands, which only can be reached with small boats, once again we found many pieces of rope and orange floating corks.

So we started to collect them on each beach visit during our roadtrip in Portugal.

At home I have washed the ropes in the baththub and here they are drying on the bathroom floor. I will put them in a big glass jar as a beautiful souvenir of our holiday.

zeeland revisited

After a wonderful beachday last Wednesday, we revisited Domburg on Sunday.

It's only a short trip for us to drive to Zeeland to enjoy a domestic summer holiday feeling!

Sunday beachfinds.
Today we returned to Zeeland, very early in the morning.

We enjoyed our beachday last Wednesday so much and it felt like a one day vacation, so we decided to go back to the wide beaches of Zeeland.

A good day it was.
