Said goodbye in the morning to Graham and Edie, who were catching a train to Haarlem, and to Rob and Nancy, who were heading off by car to Antwerp. Enjoyed the week with them: interesting and companionable people. Hope we get together with them again.
We headed to the rally HQ to meet up with our Bike Friday friends for a group picture (attached). Six couples, incl 3 Aussie, one Tasmanian, a French Canadian couple and us. Rode with 2 couples of Australians. Good ride, but in the town center of Breda I caught a wheel on a low sidewalk and dumped us on the sidewalk. Sandy was banged up but after a few minutes she was pretty sure nothing was broken, though sore.
In the evening was a barbecue to wrap up the rally. We joined a large group of Aussies, Brits and others, and had a good old time. (Pic).
Since our cottage rental ended at noon Friday, we had arranged ahead to stay at a nearby b&b. Daylight was no problem: it stays light until 10:30 so we rode there after dinner. The place turned out to be an old farmhouse attached to a mill. Beautiful; too bad it was just an overnight stay.
