Last days at Hoorn

We take a drive across the 27km Houtribdijk which connects western and eastern Netherlands, and separates the 2 huge freshwater lakes which are the county's flood and drought insurance, and the former Zeiderzee. The eastern province is all reclaimed land, amazing stuff.
We wander the streets of Hoorn, drink coffee, clean and pack the bikes and read more books. This has been a great place to explore and relax and get some insight into Dutch lifestyle.
We visit the secondhand shop for another suitcase, everything fits but it's nice to know there's room for further purchases if necessary.
We've ridden about 1500 km and sat on the bike for over 100 hours, piece of cake....
Tomorrow Ian will drive Kay and the luggage to the boat in Amsterdam, about 40mins, then take the car back and return by train - the easiest of the many ways we considered to get us there. Then 2 weeks of luxury on the AmaVerde, woohoo!!
