Sharp eyed reader here! Those ebikes will be going 25 kph - the European limit. One thing that seems inexplicable in Netherlands is that motor scooters are also allowed on the bike paths - a menace even greater than the road bikers (who can be awful!).

thx, Mike! fun trip, sorry to see it end but we are already planning the next one!

Well done!

So glad you are stopping at the Kroger-Müller Museum, very worthwhile. We loved it. We were there a couple of years ago on a bike trip from Amsterdam to Munich.

we were unsure at times that this route would prove fruitful. A great feeling when all of a sudden, there's the Rhine1

I haven't tried enough places to know, but I would say that nowhere do you have the infrastructure between towns that I know of. Here it is more or less continues from Zurich to Amsterdam. We have nothing to compare.

most crowded church i've ever seen

no river!

And a curious tower to the right on the hill ! More castles than one can shake a stick at. I am still trying to get over that the entire City of Toronto has but one castle.

So much covered in yet such a relatively short trek of some 55 km.

Great view indeed.

That is so nice to see in small towns. A good sign that economic wealth is distributed outside of the urban areas ! Some house proud people !

AGREED - that kind of truly bike friendly infrastructure just plain don’t exist in Canada … I think Calgary comes closest ?

Cool … in Tawrana as you know, under such a highway (the Gardiner Expressway) is yet another highway.

Just way too many people for my liking but what can you do?
