|
The ride to Hijum was uneventful. We had booked a cottage attached to the highly recommended restaurant Leafe Sâwntjin! owned by Jilles Dijkstra and Caroline Bos. The cottage was spacious and pleasantly furnished and the hosts welcomed us and made us feel at home. Caroline is an excellent chef whilst Jilles is an expert on wines. They have a cooking show on the local TV station, which was filmed while we were there.

| We had pre-booked the six course menu and Jilles selected matching wines for us. We had one room of the restaurant to ourselves, apart from us there was a group of about 20 in another room. Jilles spent some time telling us about wines, foods and the local area. |
