Today is Thursday, June 21.
The journey is nearing its end.
Currently the date is about 4 days earlier
than planned. I will adjust the schedule.
I have two choices whether I try to run as
close as possible to Frankfurt, or
try to
spend a few days at a good campsite.
I have not made a route other than planned
route.
Wifi environment is a bit insufficient to
read maps, make routes ... and do it. Besides, Street View can not be displayed
well.
That's why I will use the train from Utrecht
to Frankfurt.
Until the day I get on the train at Utrecht,
I spend the day at a nearby campsite. |

Cargo bicycles are truly common.
Since the car height is low and it is a three
wheel, so there is no worry of falling.
It is also sold in Japan and can be ridden
in Japan.
However, it is difficult to run because it
is not treated as a bicycle under the Road
Act.
Anyways Japan has very few practical bicycle
exclusive roads, except the bicycle path
for river leisure.

I run about 3 m to 5 m lower than the sea.
The scholars warn that global warming will
raise the water level of the sea including
the North Sea and the Baltic Sea to a critical
level and a part of the coastal area will
sink below the water surface. Because global warming is progressing rapidly,
flooding can occur every year.
Many of the European countries are alarming
that scholars should start even today
because
technically they are not ready for
catastrophic
disasters due to climate change. At this stage only the Netherlands can protect
water rise. |

No matter where I run, I do not see utility
poles, power transmission lines. |

No matter where I run, I do not see utility
poles, power transmission lines.
I have been running in urban areas and suburbs
of Switzerland, France, Germany, and the
Netherlands, but finding utility poles was
difficult. |

●Now I am here.
How much is lower than the sea? It
is like this.
…Below the sea level.
What surrounded the shallow land and
drew
out seawater and built a reclaimed
land is
called a POLDER. About a quarter is
below
the sea level. |

I am running a low place far below the ocean.
If there is no levee here it is under the
sea.
There was a boy in the Netherlands,
one evening,
when he was walking near the embankment,
he found a hole in the levee. He thought
"If it is left as it is, the country
will sink into the sea."
There was nothing to close the hole, the
boy pushed his finger into it, and stopped
the seawater. The season was winter. No one
passed through that night that night. The
next morning,The figure of that frozen dead
boy was discovered.He dedicated his life
to defending the country.
The story of "The Hero of Haarlem"
introduced in this "The Silver Skates"
is the creation of the author.
American writer Mary Mapes Dodge (1831-1905)
was interested in the Netherlands and
started
teaching to the two children by teaching
the history and geography of the Netherlands
as well as incorporating family life
into
stories. That is the beginning of this book.
Until now, I firmly believed that this story
is a true story.

This place is also about 3 m - 5 m lower
than the sea. Since Aisel lake is about 6 m under the sea
level, it is regarded as about the
same as
Aisel lake. |

I am running over such a large bank in this
way. The lake on the right, the forest and
the farm on the left. It is lower on the
left, but I can not understand by just seeing
it with my eyes. I can find out by examining
the elevation on the map. The surface of
the lake is 0 m, and the farmland is displayed
as -5 m. |

The receptionist 's lady who is also an owner
is kind and is good.
She was looking around the camp site alone. She cleaned the toilet and specified the
location of the camper. She was busy.
When the sky became cloudy and sudden rain,
she invited me to say, "When it is rain,
the tent is not comfortable, so please kill
time at the office."
Today's weather Clear mileage 106 km
