Europe 2018 - July 29 - Gouda to Amersfoort

Sunday - July 29
Only 62F this morning. The breakfast room art for today.

The square was essentially empty at this early Sunday morning hour so Doug had fun having us ride this way several times so he could get the right shot in the nice early morning light.

We stayed until the clarion bells rang 9:00 and the clock came to life.

There was no traffic so it did not take long to get out of town.

A very nice thatch roof example.


This one is for Donna's mom and sister, both quilters.

Between knooppunts 84 and 83.

IJsselstein, our lunch stop. We spied a group of bikes parked out front of one place and figured that was the only one open for lunch (Marcus Cafe).

How could we not get a picture of father and daughter Robin with this mural!





There were people of all ages out enjoying the cooler weather on their bikes and roller blades, wheelchairs and walkers. This is the Manor House in the Fort Rhijnauwen park and nature preserve just east of Utrecht.

A typical bike routing sign. They are so handy.

An ecobridge for wildlife over N237. There are over 600 of them in the Netherlands.
It started spitting rain just before we got here but we weren't far from our destination. Our timing would have been even better if we hadn't taken a wrong turn in Zeist which added 3 miles to this beautiful day of riding.
