Day 6 already?!

‎De Rijp to Anna Paulowna (46 km):

We had a great day again today! After a large breakfast (featuring chocolate hail, once again), our hosts from last night drove us back to our bikes (parked in de Rijp) this morning. We met up with Kris and Laura who had already explored de Rijp and had a cup coffee in the square, and started our tour following the knooppunte.

Goals of the day were:

1. Ice cream

2. Picnic more, eat out less

3.‎ Arrive at our Vrienden op de Fiets houses at a decent hour!

‎We succeeded in 2 of the 3 goals, as you can maybe tell in our photos... it wasn't a good day for picnicking. Although the day started dry, it started to rain with wind around lunch time, mostly light rain, but also very hard a times. Somehow, we managed to bike through most of the day with a tail wind at our backs, and between the really heavy rain showers. It wasn't an easy day at all, but Anna and Cacia sailed through, and had some fun along the way too!

Highlights of the day:

1. Ice cream

2. Arriving before midnight

3. Doing laundry!

4. Super Moon... and the skies clearing on cue for us to see it... Cacia took some beautiful pictures of the moon, which I'm sure you will see soon...

Tomorrow we will ride the longest distance in a day of the trip, so we will try to start the day earlier than usual, and tonight dream of a strong tail wind!
