@ Paul – Happy you guys made it up there okay. Keep peddling!

@ Douwe – Helen was pretty sure that she had the correct location. She will be happy that you confirmed things.

Helen your pictures are great they tell a story & I am so happy you took the picture of the CORRECT house, where your dad was born in 1929. It rained, when I saw it so we have no picture. The weather looks clear and sunny that is another plus for you.
My,my it amazes me how well you guys find your way over there and to be able to “blog” from a very remote “Vlieland” beach ! Keep IT comming. All very interesting.

Hi guys,
We’ve made it to Denmark, we’re in Ribe, in a very swish 4* hotel, built in 1581! Our cycling was slightly curtailed due to my mossie bites- that amount of toxin in the system didn’t help! However we’re back on the road properly now. Off to Esjberg in the afternoon and then a ferry to Fano for two days camping and relaxing.
Hope you enjoyed your trip.
Paul & EilÃs

Hi Les and Helen,
We’re now in Bremen, mostly by train..
Heading north by bike in the afternoon.
BTW Terschelling has the nastiest mossies we’ve
ever met………….58 on me alone…
Oh and it’s 21 years not 12….

[...] All in all, not a bad article, but not reallyÂ in tune either. Well, at least they’re listening. I hope they’ll dig a little bit further in the next news cycle. For instance, they could have found out about an Ottawanian couple, ditching their helmets and lycra gear, buying their new Dutch bicycles in Amsterdam and cycling around the Netherlands for 2 weeks, completely enriching their (cycle) life.

Ps, I once enjoyed the beach on the south of Vlieland, before and after I knew it was a firing range…while flying over the beach in a Cessna Piper Cherokee at 15 meters altitude (so ordered by the tower), as two F16′s approached from behind and lit up two targets. I wish you could have seen that too, obviously. But what am I saying, you had a blast anyway.

Oh man, your vacation is getting better by the day, real adventure! The Wadden can look like you just arrived on a different planet.. certainly if you have to cross them, they’re beautiful.

You had real Jutters Jenever! Nice and warm, huh? Also great that you got hook up with Paul and EilÃs, minds alike!

You both look mellow to me, Les/Helen, and I’m glad I was mistaken when I thought you skipped the other islands. I just can’t keep up

Be well/enjoy.
