Another grey day with light rain most of the time. But it was chilly enough that we could ride comfortably with our rain jackets and rain pants.
The ride today was through very picturesque countryside. Many sheep cows ducks swans canals and windmills. Despite all our navigation resources we took a wrong turn which led us a long way out of our way, but we did not mind because the scenery was enjoyable and the ride was not very long: about 35 miles the way we did it.
Dordrecht is the oldest city in Holland and a seaport. Our B&B is directly on the harbor, and I took a long walk around to see all the coastal trading ships. The B&B is a nineteenth-century house which a woman and her son are working on. We think our room is the only one , but it is large and has old furniture and paintings, and a beautiful garden view out the back. The ceiling is 19th century original and features cupids representing thel four seasons.
Dinner at a waterfront neighborhood pub. One man had his dog on the stool beside him. The dog put his paws up on the bar and the bartender gave him treats. Definitely a regular.
