49. Europe Bicycle Trip-Day 14-Knooppunten Lessons and Animals In The Way

Today with went for a bicycle ride of 32 km around the caravan area. Tante Thea was teaching mme how to follow the "fietspad" (bicycle path) " knooppunten" number system. At each number that yoiu reach there is a big board. Then from there you follow small signs (that can be high or low (covered by some grass) that have the number on them until you get to the next number. It is a great system!

There was also a small sign hidden in the spring grass.
We had a nice chat with Janna and I gave her my card.
This path led us between two bodies of water.
These "knotwieg" trees are everywhere. The Dutch trim most of their trees way back and new growth is now starting.
There are also some tulip fields near here but most of the farmland today was pastureland for cows and sheep.
Now we are following number 7 and we must turn left here.

These sheep were interested in nibbling at my bag covers.

A lovely couple!
Stretching is important
There is a rowing club about half a km down the road and everyday rowing shells go by.
