Enkhuizen- Aug 2; return to Amsterdam

Image
On the road by 9.00, inland on narrower paths by fields and farms. Last day akways bittersweet. Rode where the famous 11 city dutch XC skate race (used to?) happen to lunch in Workum. Some swimming, some museums, met up with the boat in stavoren for sail back to Enkhuizen for captain's dinner, awards and kabbalat shabbat.  31 miles.   Saturday we all went our separate ways, some staying in Enkhuizen, some set off on bikes, some in a car, some on a train.  Crazy times in Amsterdam with the Pride canal parade - little different than the past week for sure.  Planning for 2025 begins!

Makkum - Aug 1

Image
Sun faded behind clouds, headed inland into Friesland. A flat, a broken seat both fixed and made it to planetarium in franeker, the oldest still working one in the world. Eise Eisinga built cool mechanical model of solar system in his living room that still works. Cycling along the sea and out to the lock, then a big headwind into makkum, our home for the night. Tattoos for all and singing under the sunset. 30 miles.
