Distance. 64km
Total. 1270km
Today was our last full day of cycling. We got up nice and early to tackle a fantastic breakfast and get on our way to beat the rain that was forecast later in the day.
Janice found a new form of travel for our next trip, I’m not sure the plant will be any good on the journey. We also saw a large book that caught our eye....
The answer to the question is..........standing behind the book! I hope Janice is still talking to me.....probably not after the next photo.....
Just to get her own back, here’s the next photo of the route.
I can’t argue with that and I agree with the sign with my age on it!
We wanted to get to Utrecht early and managed to do the 60km by 11.30am and a well earned coffee. We were shocked that the ‘coffee shop’ didn’t offer any leaf based confectionery! The city of Utrecht has been called the best canal city of Europe....I don’t know whether Venice and Birmingham agrees with that comment. It is however rather better than Birmingham and perhaps slightly less than Venice in the ratings. Sadly the Dom and the famous Dom Tower were covered in scaffolding and not even worth a photo. The shops and the narrow streets around the canals were nice and bustling on a Saturday afternoon as we dodged the showers.
We stayed in an apartment just on the fringe of the city. We had visited the train station to try to plan our return train journey to Basel on Monday......not as easy as you think! We have arranged a trip to Strasbourg with 5 changes....it’s complicated because of the need for bike tickets as well as person tickets. It will fill our day for sure.
