Strand(NLD)⇒De Wite(NLD)


Today is Wednesday, June 20th.

I am in a campsite called Strand 49 on the North Sea coast. Today I will go to the east side of IJsselmeer through Afsluitdijk.

I am leaving.
Outside of the tent is dew, the inside is wet with humidity.
I wiped it carefully, but the tent is still drenched.

Because of the morning fog, the scenery can not be seen well. .

I found a windmill, but it is not rotating now.

I often meet a group that seems to be a high school student around 8 o'clock as I do every day.
They pass by bicycle while having conversation enjoyably.

As usual, a beautiful bicycle path continues.

The left is North Sea, right is IJsselmeer.
The altitude of IJsselmeer is 6 meters below sea level. There is another embankment in the south, and the lake which was closed by that is called Markermeer, and it separates from IJsselmeer.
1019
I was overtaken by the people who are bicycling by themselves.
Tandem bicycle is called.

1025
We call it Tandem Cycling. Because each one steps on the pedal, a stronger force comes out than a one-seat ride. If they rotate two pedals, the total output will be doubled, and the person who got on the rear side is less susceptible to air resistance, which is advantageous for high speed driving than a one-seat bicycle.

Although there are 2 hp, I am SPD, I had overtaken. Let's do a little hard and I will go on.
Two horsepower men and women couple ran through without having a break. I will also chase after.

A group of four cyclists came.

Two horsepower are quite tough, but they seem to take a break here. From here I am traveling by myself.

14 euros Today I tried a discount.
At first, the number 19 tried to jump out from the receptionman's mouth.
Before he finished talking, I immediately tried to say "12".
Then he started calling to someone. He was talking to someone for a while.
I paid 14 euros and got a shower coin and went to the camp site.
However, as I left a deposit of 10 euros, I can not leave so early in the morning.

The weather today is sunny
