Even though we were in Brugge, Belgium (the canal picture) and had to take a quick trip to France (it was a new country for Shing, Helen, and Susan), most of the cycling was done in Holland. We were on the barge,
Iris, for 7 days where we cycled during the day, with some sightseeing and then docked in quaint villages on the canals for the night. Our barge slept only 20 people so we got to know our bargemates well. One of the more unique places was the
kinderdijk, a UNESCO sight with 17 working windmills - the windmills were, and are, used to drain the land that is below sea level and also to grind the grain. It was a great trip, and Mom and Dad kept up cycling with even the youngest cyclists.
