It’s our first morning on Sylt. The island is located on the north-west coast of Germany, in the North Sea. This morning we’re heading north by bus, to a small port called List. List is the northernmost point in Germany. Across the water we can see Denmark. There’s a ferry for car traffic, and it seems to be a popular day trip.

List itself is very small, with a supermarket and a few kiosks and restaurants by the quayside.

We had some lunch and headed back to Westerland, where our hotel is located. Westerland is the only real town on Sylt, and it’s famous for its beach. It’s almost always windy this far north, so ‘beach baskets’ protect beach goers from the chilly breeze.

We had fish & chips for dinner, and returned to the beach to see the famous sunset. I have to admit it was pretty good.
