With probably over 300km cycled we were very happy to have a
day where more time was spent sightseeing than cycling. A brisk 40km under the
sun bought us to the city of Groningen, the largest town of the North but definitely not what Brits would consider large. Our cycle route took us
straight from the countryside into the central square with its town hall, tourist
information and church all in immediate sight.
It was really refreshing to see
some youthful faces as the rural cycle routes were very much dominated by quick middle-aged
professionals or meandering elderlies. Let’s just say I wasn’t at all surprised
to hear that students make up around 25% of Groningen’s population! With the
weather still warm we plucked up enough courage to take an evening dip in our campsites
lake to top off a great day. Yet another stunning natural campsite to add to the list and not a stone's throw from a bustling city.
