<\/a><\/p>\nAfter breakfast, we walked around town, even sat on the hotel rooftop trying to find a good internet signal to post the blog, but when the church tower rang 10 am, Jerry said we had to go.<\/p>\n
So we pedaled down brick-paved roads past the bakery, butcher shop and windmill to the bike path along Amsterdam canal. Almost the entire ride today was on a nicely paved road that was lined for one car and generous bike lanes on either side.\u00a0 Though there were a few cars from time to time, it was filled with bikes of all kinds enjoying the weekend’s beautiful weather.<\/p>\n The path was along the top of the dike, so we were afforded delightful views of the little towns with tidy homes and perfect yards<\/p>\n and beautiful churches.<\/p>\n At two o’clock we took a break to make a plan for the rest of the day.\u00a0 With a 24 oz beer down the hatch,<\/p>\n we decided to take the small trek across the bridge, find a place to stay and enjoy the oldest city in the Netherlands, Nijmegen. As we checked into Hotel Courage, directly on the River Waal, we learned of the historic bicycle museum that adjoined our hotel.\u00a0 Though quite small, it had dozens of bikes dating as back as far to the early 1800’s, looks pretty comfy, hmm?<\/p>\n
