With the end of PinkPop it was
time to pack up all our stuff and start cycling once more- but not before a
quick scheduled train trip to take us back up onto the Ronde van Nederland
route. You do have to pay to take your bike on the train in the Netherlands and it's only allowed
in non-peak times but priority is given to you if you get in the designated
carriage so the experience was not overly traumatic. Getting on and off the steep stairs at the platform and indeed off the
platform out of the station was however. A little surprising for so
bike-friendly a country. Nevertheless before the day was up we’d passed through
the well-known cities of Eindhoven, Tilburg and Breda all in a westerly
direction- parallel in fact to that of LF13. It felt appropriate that on our
mother’s 60
th birthday we had made such definite advances toward the
end of our NL adventure. Home felt on the horizon.
