Day 5
Amsterdam
May 4, 2023 in the Netherlands ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
Parked up over the river and took a free ferry into Centraal Station right in the heart of Amsterdam. Spent the next 10 hours exploring this hospitable city, good vibes. Did do a 75 minute boat ride round the canals to have sit down! At the end of the day together with a crowd of thousands we watched the King and Queen lay wreaths on memorial day from WW2. Nice to get the royalty out, similar to when we went Valencia before making our way back on the free half a hour ferry ride.Read more

Day 7
Hoorn
May 6, 2023 in the Netherlands ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
Cycled along the bike path to Hoorn, 7 miles away, watching the geese, herons, egrets and spotted a single spoonbill. Stopped for coffee at the historic weighing house, now a cafe. Note the leaning houses where over the years they have sunk. Found a market to walk around and brought some local produce. Then round the old harbour before cycling the 7 miles back.Read more

Day 8
Enkhuizan
May 7, 2023 in the Netherlands ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
Left our lovely campsite and headed up to Enkhuizan to cross the causeway. Just before the crossing we noticed the zuiderzeemuseum, a museum devoted to preserving the cultural heritage from that region. It started with a boat trip and you walked round a village seeing how they lived! Not sure about the 8 children sleeping with you all in one room in your bed boxes! Spent the whole day here. Very good.Read more
