Kudelstaart to Uithoorn-Leiden
Sunday the real cycling began. Today we headed off in a light wind and drizzle to Uithoorn-Leiden the distance will be 55+ km. Along the way I took a picture of our group cycling among sheep on one of the bike paths and when I put the camera back in my jacket the lens must have closed on a piece of kleenex or lint in my pocket and then the lens would not open or close properly and the camera would not work for the rest of the day; so not a good start. even worse we are headed to the Keukenoff tomorrow with no “frickin” camera. Divorce is eminent! Later in the day I also managed to get one foot completely covered in asphalt oil/tar that was on top of a mud puddle we went through and as they say “things happen in three”, so put an end to a “bad day” somewhere in Holland is my cellphone. Thanks to Tricia and Johnny for canceling it and we’ll sort it out when we get home. Anyway back to the cycling, the bike paths here are amazing and the people are all very respectful of bicyclists……. it’s a way of life and a culture in this country. After a great dinner we were off for a city walk where we were introduced to “Alms Houses” which were homes for the poor. Leiden was the native city for Rembrandt and another famous painter named Jan Steen. So much history and interesting things to see while cycling and also on our evening walks. We are having a sensational time!!
