It was a peaceful night on the banks of the Rhein in Arnhem and the weather is still very drizzly. We have been talking to our English and American neighbors this morning, they are heading toward Rotterdam and we tell them about our experiences in the Schiedam a few days ago. We see no point staying here for another day in the drizzle and depart for Winssen. Our blogger friends Mark and Bev stayed at Camping De Muk last year. It’s an easy trip from Winssen back to Arnhem for our next adventure.
It’s an easy drive to Winssen and we soon arrive at Camping De Muk. Caroline and her son Jelte welcome us with a coffee and we chat about this and that.
Caroline and her husband Erik have a little menagerie going in the front yard, which would keep visiting children happy.
Just as the weather forecast predicted, the rain has cleared and we get a bit of sunshine. We get the bikes out and ride into town.
Pam lights a candle for the Grand Children, there is a lovely little chapel in the Church at Winssen.
Once through the village we ride up onto the dyke and take the cycle path west for an hour before heading home.
Not the greatest photo, but the barge traffic on the Waal River is amazing. You do notice the lack of large trucks on the roads. It would seem huge amounts of bulk materials are transported by river.
The Dutch love their windmill and Winssen has a beautifully restored mill in the village. It dates back to 1791.
The new bike rack makes loading and unloading easy.
We have been on the road for nearly 6 weeks and the burn out is becoming evident. Pam is keen for a holiday within our travels so we will see what tomorrow brings.
