The bus service on Sylt is nice and simple. Line 1 takes you north to List, where we went yesterday, and line 2 goes south, and that’s our plan today. A quick map of the island.

Hörnum is very nice, with a long beach. The weather’s lovely.

A boat trip offers to take us around the bay. We get on board.

The trip is excellent. A lady from the National Parks service explains about the wildlife. The kids listen intently.

A net is dropped off the back of the boat so that the children can see some of the creatures that live in the sea.

Looking back to the southern tip of the island. Sylt is basically a huge sand dune, and it is gradually being lost to the sea.

When we got back to the port it was lunchtime. We had a delicious meal on the quayside at this seafood shack.

The lighthouse.

Val, in a beach basket, not that we needed one today.

We really liked Hörnum. Tonight we have dinner at a local restaurant where duck is a speciality.
