Holland

Camped in dunes, 50m from the north sea. The 3 of us played cricket on the beach as the red sun set and the full moon rose... Avocado got everywhere.

Amsterdam
Here we enjoyed canals, cake, coffee shops, camping and chillin' in Vondelpark! said our goodbyes to Dan and became a tour of 2 for about 3 hours.

Utrecht (24/05/07) We have had an eventful few days. Left Amsterdam where we left Dan, ('official photographer') and got to Utrecht in good time, it was a really nice ride. Lovely to eventually find the G8 bike karavaan. On sates we did a critical mass which the police stopped after 1 hour and arrested everybody and took their bikes. click to enlarge in a new page I managed to get away but Claire was arrested, they arrested 105 people in total, basically the whole of the mass. Released nearly everybody but they still have Claire's passport, hopefully she can collect it tomorrow, (check: Arrests in Utrecht) so we are a bit behind schedule with the ride now but can hopefully leave Utrecht.

Nijmegen
Extremely wet and windy ride, but good to be on the road after the whole group was held up at Utrecht courtesy of the Dutch police! click to enlarge in a new page Zutphen
Raining again! and if there was an Olympic sport for faffing the g8 karavaan would be getting gold!
