Netherlands Bike Trip
We had planned our route out of Amsterdam the night before (yes ... before
be had a beer) and we were full of confindence. Unfortunately, I made a
wrong turn in one of the large parks and we got lost. At first all the milestones
looked right according to the map ... crossed a major road ... passed under
some railway tracks ... went through another park ... etc. ... but then
something just felt wrong. We stopped to check the street signs and could
not find them on the map where we thought they should be. Finally, we asked
someone for help. He pointed on the map where we were and I couldn't believe
it. We had done a complete circle and were now further away from our intended
route than when we started over 45 minutes ago. Feeling just a little embarassed,
I plotted another route and we quickly joined our planned bike path out
of Amsterdam. The problem with the Netherlands is that there are just to
damn many bike paths!!!! |
