Castle

The view of the castle in Muiden, we got there pretty easily after a late start. this picture doesn't show the moat and draw bridge, but it was there.

The arch way that leads to the garden in front of the castle, it was so mesmerising that Jake couldn't close his mouth.

Picture of a tree "thing" in the middle of the garden, it was set up so that it gave shade along with looking great.

Park and Chess

Me and Zach on a play structure in Oosterpark in Amsterdam. There were many toy structures that would never ever be allowed in the U.S.

Jake in front of the giant chess board that we spent a lot of time near. Met many interesting people and some travellers from the US.

Day 4: Zwolle

The campsite in Zwolle where we spent our last night on the bike trip. It was a "luxury" campsite with a playground and lake.

The site that we slept our last night, we slept through a thunderstorm and it was not a pleasant night. In the morning everything was wet and muddy.

Day 3: Kampen

The place where we waited for 30 minutes, Jake put the team on his back and found a lady who called the owner on his cell phone and he came and got us a place to stay. The guy was near by but he was swimming and he was the first person we saw that wore clogs.

Day 2: Giethoorn

A lady at a hotel referred us to a couple that rent out a room of their house to travellers and it was a great stay. This is the room that Zach stayed in, it had a lot of flowers.

The living area of the room that was rented, had a t.v. and some comfortable chairs.

The second bed that we had, a lot more comfortable than Zach's.

Night 1: Dwingeloo

Zach and Jake in front of the tents in the wet weather in Dwingeloo on our first night.

Me and Jake looking on our great job of putting the tents up in less time than Zach.

On the Train to Beilen

Jake and Zach inside the train after the ride in the rain. it was a bad day to start off our trip, but it got much better.

Our packed bikes on the train, it was harder to take them out then put them on the train.

After getting drenched from head to toe, changed my shirt and set everything out to dry.
