We spent three days trying as best we could to be Dutch, by cycling. The 120km cycle tour began in Amsterdam and finished in The Hague.
View The Cycling Tour in a larger map (By the way, you can see a map of our whole trip by clicking "Odyssey Map" in the menu to the right)
Our first stop was Zaanse Schans, a delightful touristy village which is designed to look like the olden days.
Our friend Chantal joined us.
You can go inside the windmills which each make different things, e.g. saw mill, mustard mill, oil mill and paint mill.
Unfortunately we couldn't cycle across the North Sea Canal so we got a free ferry.
Late on the first day we arrived in the beach town of Zaandvoort.
The second day was flower day and if you don't like flowers you should probably skip the rest of this post.
We rode past many properties that grow mainly tulips...
(and daffodils.)
The most floral part of the trip was of course the world famous Keukenhof
Josh took so many photos that his vision went blurry from closing one eye all the time.
So from 7 million flowers and 400 photos, here are the best
Before we reached the hostel at the end of day 2, we hit trouble when Josh's chain snapped. Here's Josh looking sad and Chantal looking nonchalant.
Unfortunately this didn't happen, so Josh, his bike and the camera caught the bus. Meanwhile Yaz and Chantilly rode along the coastal dunes to The Hague.
