Bruce and Elly never say Neder(lands) again

Most of Bruce’s blog-posts are just photos: the literary spirit had fled!

Day 1 (28 August): Home to Waverley, Newcastle to North Shields

Day 2 (29 August): 29 IJMuiden to Alkmaar

Day 3 (30 August): Alkmaar to Texel

Day 4 (31 August): visiting den Burg

Day 5 (01 September): around Texel

Day 6 (02 September): to den Burg, then de Koog

Day 7 (03 September): Oudeschild and de Waal

Day 8 (04 September): Texel to Enkhuizen, via Anna Paulowna

  • We were going to cycle from Texel to Enkhuizen but rain stopped play. Fortunately there are trains. There are many ways to say ‘Enkhuizen’, depending on whether you speak Dutch, Frysk or fake Hereford accent. I suspect the latter is less likely to be right.
