Holland was brilliant.......After a great time staying with Arie & Caroline in Soest and visiting Amsterdam, we rode to Leuuwarden close to the Northern coast.....The ride was really great......We rode the dykes.......20 miles long.......quiet, straight, windy roads......and it was cold......but at least it was dry.......We stopped in Leuuwarden with Jose & Ruud.....Ruud has a couple of Harleys including a Shovelhead formerly owned by the Sudanese Government.......After our stay, he took us on a scenic tour and saw us up to the German border......We spent two days riding across Northern Germany.....avoiding the Autobahns.....Crossing the Elbe by ferry was the highlight of the day's ride.........Camped in Puttgarden ready to get the ferry to Denmark the following morning.......834 miles so far, 66.6mpg, top speed 64mph...........Haven't had internet for a few days so this post is a bit late!...Now in Denmark...Decided to have an easy day after the morning ferry......If ever you're out this way, avoid the ferry Germany to Denmark....51 Euro...what a rip off!.....Rode onto the island of Mon to spend the day by the sea.....Found a lovely spot on the Baltic coast and built camp there.....Had a nice fire and cooked dinner......Was really enjoying it until some local came down in his car and started giving us hassle.......We figured he'd be back in the night so we packed up, rode up the road & camped elsewhere.......Set off this morning and now heading for Copenhagen.....We're on the highway alongside the motorway.....Doing a steady 50 in the cool wind.....Still no rain......Bring on Copenhagen...
