A wet day. A very wet day. Not one of us had a dry item of clothing by the time we stopped. Route was planned meticulously at breakfast, we then ignored it completely and followed our noses. Many dykes and bridges later we arrived in Den Oever. We had hot chocolate and chips to warm us up before setting out on the long dyke. It was as straight as an arrow. 30 km, a 2 lane cycle path, seperated from the main dual carriageway. Luckily the wind was with us so we rolled along at a good speed. We stopped at the few parking spots, but there was little to see and we just got wetter by the minute. At the end of the fyke we stopped for a coffee and a warm up. Then the final 5 miles into Harlingen. That was on the sea side of the dyke and quite quick. The town centre seems quite old and attractive. We found the tourist information, booked a b&b with the assistants mother, showered and warmed up ready for whatever Harlingen has to offer.
