Yesterday we had a great day! We barged into Amsterdam and then biked out to a rural section of north Holland. It was just Carole and I so we were able to stop and check out the birds we have been watching as we having been flying by this week. It was a nice area and we had our own maps of the extensive bike path network in the country. I don't know if I have mentioned the bike culture here but it is unique, you can go from one end of the country to another and never ride on the road with traffic. The auto traffic is very respectful of the cyclists when their paths cross. Every Dutchman has a bike and uses it for everything. We have seen them carrying, several children, new TVs, a weeks worth of groceries all on bikes it is really amazing. Even in busy Amsterdam biking is reasonable.
Today we are going to train to Delft and check that out. Then an early flight to the US in the morning. Hopefully we will have no ash related air problems.
