Day 253: Amsterdam to IJmuiden

We’ve made it — just the North Sea to cross now

It was a pretty relaxed day today. We were very happy to see our bikes still safe and sound in the bike park and loaded up again and set off.

We found a great café to hang out in for a while that was like a shared workspace with around twenty people all on their laptops. The wifi was still pretty good considering.

Lunch in Haarlem We’re the only globetrotters here.

Then we headed off to Haarlem for lunch by a canal and a windmill. How could it be more Dutch?

Then, just a few more kilometres and we were at the ferry, job done. Now we just need to lay back and we’ll wake up in North Shields, back in good old Blighty tomorrow morning.

Our ship awaits

Next stop England — looks nice over there doesn’t it?
