After riding 2 months through Japan in autumn of 2017, I am now back in Europe, working... but still riding on my brompton whenever possible. Currently this is mainly in the Netherlands, close to home. But hopefully other countries will join the list.

When we asked our friend who was staying for the weekend with us, what he'd like to do today at breakfast, he mentioned that the ride in bicycle yesterday evening was nice... So off we went for an other ride, this time a bit farer out. 

Our first stop was a beach on Vlietland, where we left my husband sleeping on a blanket, while we continued South towards Leidschendam. We didn't have that much time, as our friend needed to get on a bus at 13:45 at Lammerschans, so the two of us "speeded" down the channel to Leidschendam, took two pictures ...



... and back we came to Vlietland, where my husband was already awaiting us along the river to ride more back to Leiden and the bus that would pick up our friend for him to return to Brussels. Japanese style tourism ... but on a bicycle. 

Finally we arrived to Lammerschans from where his bus departed 30 min before departure so had all the time to say our good byes, fold up the poor brompton again and put it in the basket and then riding slowly home with the strange baggage.
