We took the ferry to the mainland. We didn't need a ticket because normally people buy a return ticket on the mainland; tickets are neither sold or checked on the return leg. The bicycle path goes onto the ferry on Texel and off again at Den Helder. We cycled onto the ferry, along the ferry to the other end and eventually off the ferry onto the cycle path.

| The decision to abandon the hotel on Texel was a good one. Despite a stiff headwind and a poor nights sleep we enjoyed the ride south along the North Sea Bicycle Route (LF3a). It winds through dunes and forested areas along well made paths. The weather was cool with light cloud, all in all a refreshing change from the flat terrain and canals of Friesland. There was a head wind but the path was winding and fairly sheltered so it was refreshing rather than onerous. |
