The diary of a Scot in Amsterdam

Bicycles arrived

They have finally arrived!

Today we went to pick up our brand new bicycles from the Vakantiefietser. At last, we could get a proper look at what about €1700 gets you in the way of a bicycle. Yes, it’s an enormous amount of money, and in fact probably more than I have ever spent on anything, but it should be worth every cent once on the road to China. Eric, the owner of the shop, was careful to take the time to explain everything about keeping the bikes in good shape. Needless to say though, al I wanted to do was get on the saddle and get going. Tomorrow we set off for Germany for a little test journey, which will see to that.
