On the Road to Amsterdam

Southbound

From a campsite at sundown


Early in the mornin' ...

A windmill in Germany


Moin (hello in Ostfriesland)!

We're on our way to the Netherlands after five days of riding. Since our last post, we biked from Copenhagen to Mon (Denmark) to Plön to Hemmoor to Spohle (Germany). Today we're heading towards Wilsum. There have been nice bike paths and some really spectacular stretches of road. A few highlights so far: meeting interesting townspeople; visiting Helsingor (where Shakespeare set Hamlet); happening on an old wind mill in a small German villiage and being shown around; cycling through lush forests in Holstein; eating lots of ice cream; watching the Germany-Italy World Cup match in a packed German bar (with Tom secretly rooting for Italy); having great fresh-baked bread; riding past many-colored fields of flowers. In all, it's been a super start to the trip. We'll post again once we arrive in Amsterdam, around July 8th (Saturday).

Hi Mats and Tom,
I just now went on your page to view your activities and to hopefully experience with you the infamous bike-ride! I love it. This is such a great idea to let people know how you're doing and what you're experiencing. Thanks for keeping in touch and hope each day brings lots of exciting adventures for you. Take care and I will continue to follow your trip. Be safe!
Terri
