Hoendiep

Beautiful start to the day, sunny and hot. Had time for a wander before my first of 4 trains. Many cigarette dispensers on residential roads, and smoking is allowed on station platforms.

Last stop Leer, quite pretty - see bronze statue outside Tea Museum. Bus to Groningen - even takes bikes!

Interesting B&B. My room has murals, oriental wall hanging, healing crystals, statue of Buddha and various poems. A restful night's sleep is assured.
Tea at Indonesian cafe.

Quickest way to commit suicide here is to step onto a cycle lane without looking. Otherwise it's great to watch ballet on two wheels.Read more
