Fine but cold in the morning and again in the
late afternoon, 6-13deg
Decided not to go on the Army hospital visit
with Wendy as they would be sitting around and discussing pharmacy business a
lot. So I headed out about 7:30am to do another ride, this time south.
I didn't feel like eating after the big Chinese duck last night so
skipped breakfast. It was fairly cold, felt less than the 6deg forecast, but I
had thermals on so I was warm enough. I was soon in the country on the
side of the main southern canal and ended up at Ouderkerk aan de Amstel, just
outside of Amstelveen
On the way I stopped at Bussum, nice town with a good feel,
where I had two yummy pieces of fish for A$5.75. It wasn't till then,
12:30pm, that I finally started to warm up.
Arrived at Naarden about 1:30pm and had a good wander around
the moat and fort. It was built in the 16th century and it was very big
and impressive. Like most holes in the
ground in
Headed back to
Ended up at the Chinese restaurant for dinner with the whole
gang, 11 of us. Wendy and I shared a Peking duck, it was lovely and so
huge that we left half the third course.
