@Les I forgot to give you the 2 links for Wifi hotspots: - in Dutch (it's pretty obvious how to use it, but holler when you need help), the link provides the overview of all provinces. You're now in Noord-Holland (including the islands you are visiting) - in English (if help needed, see above)

Oh, I wouldn’t mind a beer or two in Amsterdam right now. My husband’s cousin is running an Argentinian Steakhouse in Amsterdam (he is Brasilian – figure that!) and I remember amazing nights there. They certainly know how to party in A’dam. Have a great time.

Okay, I found my glasses and see all the other comments on your blog. When you get back we can have a bonfire and burn our spandex.

Les and Helen — Now I am convinced that I am your only friend that doesn’t have a life because nobody else has commented on your website that I can see…. (Um… I actually can’t see because I can’t find my glasses and the one’s Helen is wearing in that photo look verrryyy familar! Just watered your plants and swept your driveway (You see, I really don’t have a life).

Okay, back to your blog… I REALLY want one of those bikes! Serious question — Does anyone wear a helmet?

And here’s your Ottawa weather alert — It is going to be 2 degrees c. tonight… that’s right 2 degrees!

on a (real) serious note: you both DID look like locals, and not just because of your stunning new Dutch bikes. Helen’s pink trousers let her not only blend in, but surely stand out, as well! Les, the way I’ve seen you go about your business on the lanes/road, I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference if I didn’t know you as a formerly lycra-clad Ottowanian

PS: let me share a little secret…by (cycling) nature, we are ALL Amsterdammers :-p
