WIJK BIJ DUURSTEDE - RIDDERKERK 48.75 miles
This report is for the 6th June but was to tired to write, because the mileage is actually higher because I made a big mistake in navigation. In fact of turning left at one point we turned right. I won't go into details, but I just didn't notice as we were enjoying the cycling so much; it was beautiful and I thought we were on the Rhine Route. Enough of that.
There was a lot of dike cycling today and the sun was hot so we often had to stop and drink water or stopped for coffee. At one such coffee stop at a very nice roadside cafe there were 6 different nationalities having a break. Most of them also had Dutch apple tart with cream. Well, you have to look after yourself. The place we were really looking forward to see was Kinderdijk. A UNESCO Heritage Site. Everyone has seen the beautiful pictures of course with all those windmills on the dikes. Some were being used and others stood still. The place - it's just a cycle path alongside - is swarming with people taking pictures. It truly is a magnificent site and we are so glad to have seen all this.
We are also coming soon to the end of our cycling trip. One more day to Hellevoetsluis and see the family on Wednesday lunchtime and sail back Wednesday night. Home Thursday.
