Some of you might be interested in the biking and barging part of this trip...The barge is lovely and spacious. The cabins are pretty small but the beds are very comfortable and cozy. Ardell and Drue are sharing a room and then I am sharing with a woman named Melissa who works at a University in Acron, Ohio. We have almost all Americans on this trip with the exception of Winfrid, Els, and Patricia the captain, chef, and crew respectively, who are all Dutch. We eat a nice breakfast each day in the common room, pack our lunches, and then at dinnertime we are served a gourmet meal that always starts with homeade soup, then a main entree, then dessert....Els is an amazing cook, She hosts dinners here for tourists and locals on the boat when it is docked in Amsterdam. Here you also see a photo of Drue and Ardell enjoying lunch along our ride at the castle. Each day, we choose a location along our route to sit and have our lunch. We usually ride about 6 hours a day and cover anywhere between 30 and 40 miles per day depending on how sidetracked we get.
We have had one gorgeous sunny day and three cold rainy days so far...we are hoping for more sun tomorrow.
