Advantages: Easy to reach from the mainland Disadvantages: Some areas are overcrowded with tourists in the summer
If you're looking for a peaceful holiday, Texel in the months July and August is definitely not the place to be. Although the mass tourism concentrates in the western part of the island (De Koog-area), is's hard to find some quiet spots in these months. Besides that, if you're going there by car, you'll be confronted with large waiting times and delays at the ferry.
The eastern part (the Wadden side) is all year long much quieter, with the possible exception of Oudeschild, the target harbour of many authentic sailing ships and modern yachts.
So the best time to visit Texel is (late) Spring or (early) Autumn.
Like the other islands Texel is ideal for cyclists, although it has less special cycling paths than the others.
If you're only looking for a brief acquaintance with Texel and the other WaddenIslands, you might enjoy island ...

Advantages: A really well written and engaging Thriller with a strong lead character Disadvantages: If your not keen on first person perspective you may not like it
Having been near fatally wounded in the line of duty, NYPD homicide detective John Corey has left New York and gone to the Long Island township of Southold to convalesce. When two local scientists are killed on their Patio, John is asked to advise the town's police department and see if he can help solve the case. There are a number of reasons why the couple may have been killed, but the FBI and CIA are worried it has something to do with their work on Plum Island, an off shore animal disease research centre. Now Corey must try and put the pieces together and solve the crime, a crime that could have global implications.
This is the second time I've picked up one of Nelson DeMille's novels and also my second encounter with detective John Corey. I've been meaning to read a few more of his for a while and like the book that introduced ...
Advantages: Very nice smell to it, sticks all day! Disadvantages: very much like the Pacific Paradise perfume, expensive, widely unavailable.
Escada Island Kiss
I got this perfume in a Collector?s Edition pack of 5 Escada Perfumes; Island kiss, Rockin? Rio, Pacific Paradise, Sunset Heat and Ibiza Hippie.
I first heard of Escada when I bought Pacific Paradise on the Ferry on the way to Italy, from then on the smell always reminded me of that holiday, and became one of my favourite perfumes. So when I saw this pack for £12.50 for 5 small bottles (4ml each), I just had to buy them to try them all, so I could choose my favourite one!
And I must say they were all delicious! With such strong fruity smells which stuck around all day, my only problem was there wasn?t enough of it in the bottles, and I tended to use half a bottle each time I used it!
But it gave me a great experience of using them all so I could choose which ones I wanted in larger bottles rather than ...
