I couldn’t really decide where to go next – Delft or Haarlem? But finally settled on Haarlem as it allowed me to stretch my legs a bit (poor reason I know, but still a reason). So I spent most of the day following canals and waterways although at times I felt in the middle of a Tour de France training camp as teams in full team kit went roaring by. There were some wonderful transistion s such as this little ‘bike’ ferry.

It’s funny but the last few days of cycling, from Germany to Copenhagen then thru Holland have been wonderful. Very different from Sweden, more crowded but just as enjoyable. Of course sitting in a town square with a beer in hand helps.
