Our last stage of the Elfstedenpad. Great opportunity to toast to this and make plans for our next hiking adventure together.

Finally the time has come. After weeks of planning, looking for overnight stays, building up kilometers and finding the right equipment, we finally started what they call the “Tour of all tours”. In other words, we have started the Elfstedenpad.

A walk through Leeuwarden. A different route than last time.
