FINALLY SOME INTERNET!!

So much for internet cafes in every town...

We spent the night in Oudorp, a beach town on the south west coast of the netherlands. The last few days have not been ideal weather for biking. The wind/rain combined with the fact that our direction reading skills seem to be lacking (although I must say, the Dutch seem not to like to label their streets) has resulted in us being a day beheind schedule.

Yesterday was definitely the most satisfying day of biking despite a wet and windy start. We biked 40 km, our greatest milage yet. Today we are crossing betwen several Dutch islands (the bridges here are impressively long) and if all goes according to plan, we will cross into Belguium tomorrow.

We will have too get off to a late start today (1130ish am) because we had to wait until the reception office opened to get tokens to do laundry. After almost a week, an actual washing machine is sooo not an opportunity to pass up!

All in all we are well. Certainly every day is a learning experience. EVERYONE PRAY FOR SUN!
