Hoorn - Volendam.

The sun is shining when we wake on this first day post daylight saving so we rug up like the Michelin Man and head off into a blustery southerly (much better than an arctic northerly). It's a 60km round trip, and feels good to be back on the bike. We follow the dyke path and it's a very weird feeling to see the sea 1m below us on the left and the land 2m below on the right. Volendam is an old fishing village now geared towards tourism, we join hundreds of people wandering the picturesque harbour and it's many shops. We play dressups, sample cheese from nearby Edam and admire the views. We get lost on the way home (so what's new?) but follow a few of the many well marked paths north along canals and roads. It rains a bit but the water hasn't a hope of penetrating our many layers.
