Today is a very special day for me, its my daughter Taraneh's birthday and I wish her a great day, and a fantastic year coming up.
I have finally arrived at my cousin's in Bosschenhoofd and after several days of riding in the rain its great to wash clothes, get dry, get cleaned up, and visit with family.
I have now started the journey south by taking the train to the top of Netherlands and then starting the southward trip on a very windy and rainy day by riding across the longest Dike in Holland - 30 Km long with the North Sea on the north side and another on the south, with a heavy wind and rain at the same time.
Holland is by far the best place for a bicyclist. Its the one country where they have elevated bicycling to the top of transportation priority. The trails are everywhere, they are well signed, everyone bicycles, and the country is basically flat as a pancake, and of course it rains every day!
In a few days I start heading south again with my eye on Paris.
Miss you all, Behrooz
Thanks Dad!
