Pieterpad 3



a good early breakfast


rain was threatening, so we started walking right away


only a little damp


7 voetvallen, not sure but it looked like stages of the cross


Lourdes Grotto


At the end of August there's a procession 
going up to this place from Sittard every year



this field path was way deep


this part of the trail had more hills
this field was unharvested to leave food for a rare hamster


suddenly this big old building , Watersley


this farm is square with a yard in the middle
a Carre Farm


Looking back on the farm and the Waterley building


healing water


walk through town


love this views in backyards


some houses have shutters


d-tour because of a dumpsite of drug making chemicals


at Windraak


not often do we have steps


most steps had an owl carved in the top post


Pieterpad is about 500 km
It will take us a while


looked cool 


very inviting bench


Fachwerk houses


walk down the slakweg




Castle Terborgh


they opened at 11 but we were there at 10.30 and 
they served us at 10.45, 
we were thankful because we had a train to catch



on the way to the train it was muddy


somehow we were at the wrong platform waiting for the train
so when the train arrived we had to run to catch it


It was raining in Sittard when we walked 
from the train station to the hotel
It had been dry so far, thankful that the rain missed us

Hope to be back on the trail the next time we're in the Netherlands
