Like all days today started with breakfast. Having breakfast at someone else's place is normally exiting as you never know what you will get but in Holland everyone has much the same for breakfast. Luckily we enjoy old cheeses and hagelslag (chocolade sprinkel) on bread as that is universal here. We left around 9am and as we planned cycling of around 50km we had a fairly leisurely ride. The morning was a repeat of yesterday, sunny with a wind of the north east. We planned the cycle as much as we could through forrested areas as we made our way to Rennen for lunch. The town provided our first few of the Rhine or should I say the Neider Rhine as the main river has split in several branches at this stage. The town of Rennen was interesting being a place which was severely damaged during WW2 when the allied forces liberated Holland (think of the movie a Bridge to Far). We ended up taking a ferry across the river to eat our lunch by this time the wind had strenghtened and the last fifteen km where into a strong head wind. We stayed at a place called Andelst which is about 17km from Nijmegen which is near the German border. The host is fantastic and has fed us a full four course dinner!!!!!! We sit enjoying a cup of tea before bed. Cycled 58km today.
