Best Cycle Rides in Holland – Delft and Leiden

Highly Recommended for a first foray into Dutch cycle touring. A weekend trip to Leiden via Delft town centre. We went in October 2019, but this wasn’t the first time we’d done the trip; it won’t be the last either!

This trip to Leiden by Adele was planned late in the day we waited for good weather forecast before saying Co it’s a trip we’ve done a number of times before in fact the last time we did it was two years ago in the what we call the flash

– because it’s last minute we found the first film I ever made and put up on YouTube was called Rotterdam to lighten of that very trip so first thing you should come out the port is to go eastwards and pedal over the Kalin the canal and wave in John turn down to the

Right under it again towards Rosenberg i speeded the film up in an attempt to look like the previous film play the two films running parallel from Rosenberg we go across the river shore on the Rosenberg – must loose ferry regular crossing forest it costs you 1 euro 40 per pizza a cyclist I must lose I thought would take a little bit of a detour but Andy said no that would only end in tears so I knew enter one side of the basement we went up the other And it ended in not tears just steps I Hate it when he’s right we tried taking a slightly different route to our usual route this time in an attempt to do a reconnaissance trip for next year’s and girls trip we didn’t want to get it run when there are girls with us this is the indigo cafe at skip Loudon

I’ll not spell it that’s quite a bit busier as you get towards the outskirts of the smoking neutral ops that is Delft you’re all in the job update your all in the Gamma Delta still lovely I’m sorry about him it’s a bit like a Dutch York

Great place for a day maybe an afternoon long afternoon good place to have a look around certainly a good place to sit in the square of another beer shame the weather wasn’t a bit brighter A rare moment in a meeting Over there over stick bridge on the Princeton route and along the Delta Bay Oh tree motion is Andy Brown this is what Andy Brown was like worried nothing we felt we should have a pancake each even though the more than you can eat breakfast are from the ferry hadn’t actually worn off yet it’s just greed really for the pancakes were of it enormous We never see very much litter graffiti in Holland ever since up respect for each other more time more patience the car drivers certainly have a lot of patience for the cyclists and I just wonder if that’s because all of the car drivers are cyclists as well one past salamander windmill which is

After a wood soaring windmill originally directly over thinking about yong we stayed on the southern outskirts of Leiden in the Bastian hotel The staff were very nice and they not eating looking natural We planned on having two nights enlightened the first one we walked into town and had a mooch round thus the chocolate shops the center of cafe culture enlightenment revolves around at the triangular square called the beasty market of beasts and marked and then the the main thoroughfare was the Harlem a strut it’s

A pedestrian way The second night we decided to just go in on the bus we had our picture taken where we’d had it taken two years before we even sat in the same order later that night we went into another pub and tested ourselves to see if we could still make the rose disappear and reappear Third day we had a lazy start and pedaled south again on a different route back to the ferry and this one took us to two guilts Vitosha a cafe in the wiles farm cafe really nice nice week another few miles or so we pulled into a

Picnic spot by a lake to have our cheese and red and red wine but then John spotted the need for rescue some goose was attacking a a young family so John thought he would take on the goose single-handed John versus the goose my worries on the goose you wouldn’t tangle

In our junk the goose didn’t give up though it was pretty dampers history that is the beautifully cinematic footage here of the boys turning the runway Crystal tips we found her on the outskirts of Delft I mean you can’t pass Delft the town centre without us stopping and having a bigger canyon it really is a lovely place what really makes it on these trips though isn’t necessarily the good weather is the good company and these guys have really are the biz don’t tell them I said [Applause] We went along the side of a canal called the larding of art and that we went across haha and out little fairy a peculiar very but very interesting and it was the Flex hood to fairy but of course the fairies always on the wrong side you have to wind it back cross

Towards you before you can get up once on board you have to wind yourselves over There are a number of ways you could possibly go back to the ship all which it just absolutely lovely Be credible you’re magnificent John George and it was all right Not today but I can the last loose to the Rosenberg fairy the one euro fifty one-year-old forty later but the usual way but very pleasant way back to the ship one final spurt of energy off the loading ramp my hero and there’s a big package by now so we
