Sophie and Jacob Arrive and Bike Ride

Sophie and Jacob arrived late Tuesday evening. We spent Wednesday wandering around the city. At one point we found ourselves people watching for 20 minutes as Sophie shopped. The rest of the day we café sat and watched the World Cup.

Today we took another 44 km cycling loop north through Ilpendam, Monnickendam and back along the coastal dikes. Beautiful ride. Sophie and Augie rode Birgitt and Harrie's city bikes and Jacob rode a tweaked rental bike. More photos available here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/JDu6siL42MCouQKv7

It all worked out despite Sophie and Jacob having gotten 3 hours of sleep each of the past two nights due to the time difference. It is very weird getting into a regular sleep pattern it gets dark at 11pm followed by dawn breaking at 4:30am.

Tomorrow we're off to visit the Van Gogh museum and out for dinner at a farm to table place. Hopefully we'll all be rested!もっと詳しく
