This coming August 25th, VVV Texel (tourist information) will send the first Message in a bottle 2.0: a buoy will be thrown in the water and will be tracked through GPS. Everybody can send messages to this buoy through social media. The finder will receive all the messages and will win several prices, including a full-serviced trip to the Dutch island Texel.
