Camping It Krúswetter

We are at Camping It Krúswetter in the Friesland area of the Netherlands. The drive up took a couple of hours and we stopped for coffee and a supermarket as usual.

We went out for a cycle ride when we got here but it has been very very windy today so half the ride was easy and half was terrible.

Btw, while we were in Arnhem we noticed lots of pairs of cyclist riding side-by-side, arm-in-arm. That's nice we thought, how romantic. Then we realised that the reason couples were doing it was because one of them had an e-bike and there other didn't. So, one of them was pulling the other along. You couldn't do this on a road - it would be too dangerous - but it works well on a wide cycle path like they have here. And the reason we saw it so much in Arnhem was because that area was quite hilly, so hard work for those without an e-bike. We tried it for a short period on the ride today and it worked ok but probably takes a bit more practice!

It was raining quite hard when we packed up this morning, so lots of our stuff was wet, but we have now managed to get everything dry in the wind.

We are heading further north tomorrow and then hopefully out to Schiermonnikoog, one of the Frisian Islands, the day after.Read more
