One country down, four to go.

Sitting by the dock of the Delfzjil bay waiting for ferry to Germany. Some uncertainty as to whether it exists!
On Monday we tried to cross the Afsluitdyjk - essentially a 32kko causeway across the sea in 35km headwind gusting possibly 60k. Strangely wxe were the only cyclists to attempt it that day. Halfway across persuaded nice guy called Wim to take us the rest of the way in his van.

Camped in Harlingen, a lovely seaport with canals and fine Dutch merchant houses. Now Jill wants to retire here!
Next day cycled 77k into weaker headwind - dutch very helpful when we got lost.
Scenery in North Friesland flat, windmills with sheep covered dykes. And their poo all over the cycleway.

All well apart from burnt ears and lips - and sore bums. Sunny days but cold nights. Woke up to find frost this morning - wearing all our clothes in the tent.
Started using cooker to brew brit tea at difficult moments - and to augment our banana and yogurt diet with bean and tuna stew.
