It's been cold and rainy daily, limiting our travel time and our bike range to 50-100 km daily. Highlights on this leg of the journey have been Ann Frank's House in Amsterdam, the infamous Red Light District, the small city of Delft, Willemstad, a chapel in Ghent, and viewing the Mystic Lamb painting. The story behind the painting reads like an action movie. We're now in Lille, France, and are planning our next move. At this point we're both a little tired of the cold driving rain, but it seems a train ride south may be out of the question as trains no longer allow bikes.
Plans change frequently now.
The skills acquired along this trip are being stretched daily, and some challenges still remain the same. There's lots more to write, lots of stories to tell. More will come. Dear friends and family, I've worked my way from Holland, through Belgium, Luxembourg, France, crossing into Switzerland at Basel, then into Germany, back into Switzerland, landing for the night in Zurich. It's a lot of countries and they're not using the eurodollars yet, so I have a purse full of money from six countries.
