Tag 79: Zebrugge - Schouwen, 87.74 km, Fahrzeit 5:10, Durchschn. 16.95 km/h, Gesamtstrecke 3934 km Mittags erreicht die Fähre Zeebrugge in Belgien. Das Wetter ist stark bewölkt, immer wieder regnet es. Ich habe keine Karten für Belgien, was nicht so das Problem ist, da ich mich gerade mal 20 Kilometer südlich der holländischen Grenze befinde. Für den holländischen Teil der NSCR habe ich das entsprechende BikeLine-Buch. Leider fängt das erst in Rotterdam an, und das ist noch anderthalb Tagesreisen entfernt. Ich folge der holländischen Radroute "LF 1b", und die ist so gut ausgeschildert, dass ich das Stück auch ohne weitere Karte, nur mit meinem Navi überbrücken kann. In Zebrugge brauche ich eine Weile, um mich aus dem Hafen rauszuarbeiten und festzustellen, welcher Route ich folgen muss. Nach einer Weile sehen die Schilder plötzlich anders aus: irgendwo ... read more

Monday we went to Neeltje Jans. We went there by bus. We had to be at school very early. 7.30 am. The trip took 2 hours. First we saw a movie about the Delta Project.

There was also a fun rollercoaster kind of thing, it was really cool. You could go down a slide on a little boat. We also got fries, that was delicious. mmmmmmmmm. After Neeltje Jans we went to a swimmingpool. It was funny. The waterslide was closed because too many Danisch people went at the same time. They didn't follow the rules. Oh how bad. After the ... read more

Part 4 of 4 in the Netherlands. I've been in this country for 6 weeks and was only in southeast Asia for 5- geographically that makes very little sense. I'm still on the bike, I rode from Utrecht to Den Haag. During my 5 hour ordeal it poured with rain about 10 times. I took shelter in all sorts of places from people's front porches, company workshops and shops to under trees, but I got there eventually . I took a little detour through the city of Leiden where I had a bit of a look around and recall purchasing some strawberries- a major highlight. I then got to Den Haag (also known as The Hague)- where I stayed for two nights. In Den Haag I tried my luck with 'couchsurfing'- don't know if people ... read more
