Dan here, typing halfway through day two. 13.30 We have just arrived in a Fietscafe which is a cycle cafe, in the middle of the Dutch countryside! We crossed the Belgium/Dutch border where all you could see for miles was corn fields and forest, just beautiful. For those of you who have watched band of brothers, it reminds me of about disc 5 I think, just no American soldiers chewing on cigars following tanks looking triumphant even though they have not fought any Germans!
We are now following what is called bike nodes, a massive network of bike paths which take you through scenic parts of the country, and it's fantastic! We planned the route to Breda this morning and scribbled down the numbers of each junction, and even though we STILL managed to get a little bit lost, we were back on track within minutes! We have passed the time making up country and western songs, including such classics as "gonna plant some corn" and "gonna eat some corn" and our latest number one, "gotta hold my nose it smells like cow poop"! Available on iTunes now....
I love this blog, as we can type on breaks and just upload when we get wireless!
Onwards!
