Why not cycle 32km?... If your first thought was anything along the lines of ‘Why would you?’ then let me explain to you why that is what I chose to do on a Saturday morning and a Sunday afternoon. Quite simply it is because the route from Noordwijk to Scheveningen, passing through Katwijk and Wassenaar on the way, is picturesque. In particular the Meijendel Dunes which harbour a vast range of flora and fauna, from bird species to small creatures, all contained in its dynamic water and grassland landscape. All such things could be viewed from high vantage points or just experienced on the occasional picnic benches designed for those travelling along the coast. Having not bought my own provisions (clever I know!) I jumped at the sight of a small cafe, an oasis in the desert of the dunes. Indeed, nothing quite beats sipping a smoothie in the sun, surrounded by God’s marvellous creation.
All your pictures are so beautiful- credit to the photographer? :P And that smoothie was VERY well deserved, 32km, wow! x
