Oude paleizen, bossen, heide, meren, bunkers, vliegtuigen spotten, grote zeesluis, duinen, zee, waterkeringen, Rotterdamse havengebied, oude steden, etc. Ook al vermaak ik mij prima op zo'n rit, mijn knieën en kont zijn er minder gelukkig mee. Voorlopig het maar weer bij kleinere rondjes houden.

Today I had to cross a mountain range, I had 2 options but based on the weather forecast for next week it became the Klausenpass. I think it is the highest route I would cross with luggage so far. Quite exciting....
