A glorious sunny day, all very quiet as we set off mainly back to LF 22. The route goes along the River Ijssel. We stopped for a coffee in Elburg. Many people doing the same and not a car in sight. Lots of cyclists though. The paths started to get busier, a number of motorbikes and a classic car rally, otherwise just cyclists. Harderwijk was quiet until we got to the waterfront. Everone and their dog were there. All along to Spakenburg the waterside was very busy. The cycle path was very good though a narrow one. Barely a metre wide and a vast number of cyclists. No-one gives an inch, it was very tiring as the wind had strengthened, and one needed to concentrate when passing other bikes.
We eventually got to Spakenburg, which seemed a very pleasant little harbour full of traditional botters.
There is no hotel, and the first few B&Bs we tried were full. Then we found our current abode. The owner came on her bike to lead us to our accomadation.
We were led upstairs above an industrial building. J & J were given 2 single rooms, we have a room with 2 beds. There is a large open plan room with cinema seats, a bar, kitchen area, dining area and very strange decor. All the earlier euphoria of finding somewhere to sleep has dissapated. Added to the fact that we are not sure of the price.
