Here we're leaving
Zeist, which was the hardest part of the trip – getting
out of the backyard – because we had made a hotel reservation
35 miles away, and we really didn't know if we could make
it.
|
 |
Along the
way, we saw lots of people who do this regularly and have water-proof
long-haul saddlebags hanging off both sides of each wheel. Ha!
We just used our everyday grocery-shopping saddlebags and covered
them with a big plastic bag. |
 |
And we're
off! |
 |
Uh-oh...
we're already lost. |
 |
Wait for
me! |
 |
|
 |
|
 |
We are
lost, aren't we? |
 |
Critters
on the path. |
 |
Ginkel
Heath was the scene of fierce fighting where 2,000 Scots and Brits
parachuted in. Their goal was to march on the Rhine bridge at
Arnhem. |
 |
|
 |
|
 |
Back on
the path. |
 |
|
 |
That little
machine in the yard is a lawn mower. It cuts the lawn by itself,
by turning whenever it bumps into something. The grass is short,
so it apparently works. |
 |
|
 |
We never
know what we'll see. |
 |
We've sighted
deer in the woods. |
 |
There are
three babies in this photo, which the Dutch call "Bambis." |
 |
We waited
out a lot of rainstorms under trees. We're getting pretty tired
here. |
 |
But we
had fun every minute. |
 |
And in
the end, we biked 85 miles in three days. We had such a good time
that we're considering biking around the Ijsselmeer, which is
only 250 miles. Ha! Just teasing!
