Netherlands/Holland a dream to cycle thro. I went thro holland in 2018, from Amsterdam, heading North eventually Norway/Lofoton, then back thro Sweden . The bike IS the best way to see the World.
Who needs tele?Am two days behind on Tour De France Catch up then saw your video.Am now gonna be watching you and can''t wait until you hit Switzerland!!! I am 58 and love cycling and it's sad here in Essex it's not that cycle friendly on major routes.
I plan to do something like this and these films only inspire me further.That said thinking is not doing!!!!

What a great start to a journey, I look forward to binge watching the rest when I'm not already up too late. One question, where are you at 1:04?
I start watching your bicycle videos,, after I watched yesterday London fr.istanbul it's interesting and enjoyable , thanks a lot,more power !
Where did you get the ferry from?
Would you tell me what month you guys traveled the Rhine segment please? I’m thinking of doing the route starting from Basel then heading north in early/ mid July and am wondering how busy (and numerous) the campsites are.
You have inspired me to take this trip soon. Really wish we had this kind of cross country cycle paths in the USA.
