Wonders of Holland & Belgium

Hi All,

We've been biking a bit, Emily and Mike had a neat bike where she was in the Front! Josephine and I had a normal one with me in the front, we laughed and screamed bit but eventually got the hang of it. There were a few Windmills along the way as we biked around Brugge. We are now in Holland and are biking again. We are staying at a Mennonite Your Way house and the couple is fabulous. They have cooked for us, helped us find a place for tomorrow in Amsterdam and lent us their bikes. Everyone bikes here from kids, young women in high heels to 90 year old men & women. So they opened their shed and brought out 4 bikes for us to use and there were still 4 more in the shed! Today we biked to a little town about 10 km away from Zwolle on paved bike paths the whole way - you hardly have to bike in traffic at all. They even have bike paths in the traffic circles. On our way back I got this cute pic of an old man with his clogs and ponies. Jane
