The Port of Busum from where we are going to visit the Island of Helgoland. |
Many a small fishing boat finds home at Busum. |

The police are there as well, ready for any marauding Danes. |

![]() I take the opportunity to write some of my story on the ship. There was a slight swell and some folk were a bit upset. |
|
We had to get into small boats to get to the shore and people are being helped off the ship, some rather white faces as well. |
Here is our ship at Helgoland, the Lady von Busum. |

I thought I saw a seal in the sea, but there were plenty of toy ones for sale. Helgoland is a tax free island where people go to stock up on liquor, giant Toblerones and of course toy seals. |
Here is the coastal path around the island. I did not go all the way around as it would have taken all our time there and I would not have had time to eat. I walked around about half way. |
|
There are small gardens on the island as well has hundreds of shops. This is the Windmill Garden. |
Here are some birds at the most northerly tip of the island. |
|
Helgoland FC play here, the manager is a great believer in the ball being round. |
This is a view across from the Helgoland to the nearby island of Dune. |
