Sunrise on the Beach | Duinbergen | Knokke-Heist | Belgium

A few days by the seaside is always needed, especially to get away from everything and just relax. Luckily for me my friend’s host parents have a seaside apartment so we were able to go there for a few days.

Our trip started on Wednesday as we sat on the train and passed farmlands and adorable cows. We ended up on Blankenberge where we got on a tram to Duinbergen, a small town in Knokke-Heist. It’s a seaside town with different houses all looking laid back and relaxing. The entire place has a vacation vibe and I doubt it changes with the seasons. The apartment was small bus cosy and it took us only a moment to get settled.

We made our way to the seaside where it was dark with different lights on the horizon. The beach was so different from the beach side in South Africa. The ocean was a greyish colour, with not so clean sand, small waves and a lot of sand. It’s not the most vibrant place, and people mostly go to enjoy the beach (tanning) rather than the ocean.

The next day we woke up around 5:30 and were just in time to see the sun come out from the other side of the world. It was beautiful as all sunsets before it. Even though we were zombies it was worth it, we did however get into bed afterwards again.

We had brunch and then set out to the beach, where we enjoyed the sand between our toes and took some photos in the wind.
