Well we got a reasonable start. We headed for Utrecht and then to Gouda.

We had a couple of omissions on this trip. We hadn’t been to a church and we had only one ice cream over three days (not a good average).
We quickly sorted out the church….


We had a bit of lunch before an ice cream. Stroopwaffel flavour and Malaga for me!
Next we walked around the very pleasant city which seemed much cleaner and less hectic than Amsterdam.
Utrecht is a university city and if is the home of children fiction rabbit ‘Miffy’.

The weather was superb and the wind was in a more helpful direction. The cycling was good.
To get our ice cream consumption on a better average we had to stop for…


We arrived at Gouda (pronounced Houda) by 5pm and got straight into the cheese.

The town was more beautiful than I expected.


We found another ice cream shop.

We spent the evening walking into town and replacing our fluids ready for another day in the saddle.
