DEPARTURE DATE: May 17th

On Tuesday 17th we shall be travelling by train from Reedham to Harwich; the night ferry to the Hoek of Holland from where we will again travel by train to Amsterdam. Then in the evening we travel with the City Night Line sleeper, arriving at Zurich Haupt Bahn at 8 in the morning.
The original plan was to take another train to Andermatt -the source of the Rhine- and cycle from there back to the Hoek of Holland. We have changed our plans slightly and decided to leave this part out and instead will cycle from Zurich to the Rhine at Kaiserstuhl, which is just 24 miles north. Once at Kaiserstuhl we turn left on our way to Basel and so on. Not long now...
