2012 オランダ デンヘルダー&テクセル島

Den Helder: this is north part of Holland. It's about 1 hour from Amsterdam centraal. There is sea. This sea has no beach just sea. We can see the sea over the spread bank. Surely there is the sea in the North part more than here but when I looked over the horizon, I felt that I came the end of the Earth. Of course there is no end because the Earth is round. All is beginning and ending. I went to the Texel island by a ship. It totally costs about 15 euro (one way). This island has some activities and good place. At the return ship, I looked over the horizon again and look around the other people. I was surprised that mostly people looked over the horizon with sunset. Of course it was beautiful but moreover their expressions on the faces looked over somewhere so far. An individual had looked into their each life. I felt that is the personality in Europe .This is their daily although summer season. I think I have an identity but this experience was very impressive for me. I am not sure yet how I can use these experience. Next stage is waiting for me.

今日はオランダ北部のデンヘルダーとその近くにあるテクセル島に行ってきました。ビーチはなく、とにかく海です。地平線が綺麗でした。九州一周旅で平戸の海を見たときに日本もとうとう行き着くところまで来た、と思いましたがオランダで海を北側に臨んだ今日、世界の端まで来たんだな、と思いました。もちろん端は存在しないんですけどね。テクセル島へは人だけならデンヘルダーから往復2.5ユーロ、自転車で５ユーロ。とても面白い場所が存在しました。福山にある鞆の浦に少し雰囲気が似ています。船や海との歴史がひしひしと且つものすごい量のマテリアルがありワクワクと訪れるものを感心させます。
様々な経験が旅路では降り掛かってきます、そして様々な過去の記憶を呼び覚まします。次のステージに向かってマイペースですが歩んでいきます。
