Bike Trippin across the Netherlands
cre: Bike Trippin across the Netherlands
It’s official. The scorching heat weeks are over and the cool fall weather has arrived! This change of seasons created perfect weather for biking, so naturally my friends and I must have taken advantage of it! This weekend consisted of two bike trips: one to nearby Broek at Waterland and one to the island of Texel (which involved more transport than just a bicycle!). Biking in Broek was one of my favorite day trips so far! The weather was perfect and the bike ride to this quaint little town was arguably my favorite part of the day. We cycled through lush green fields dotted with cows, horses and goats. The path we took took us straight to the center of these fields so it was nice not to be on a crowded street full of cars. We also passed the coolest houses along the way! They were located along a canal and each one was so unique that we struggled to catch all the details as we cycle past. After about an hour, we reached the town of Broek and decided to restock on what turned out to be an incredibly delicious Dutch crêperie. We wandered around the city a bit, admiring the architecture, then headed home. Here are some pictures of this day:

The next day we left early for our trip to Texel. Our bike to the central station was followed by an hour’s train ride, followed by a short bus ride that took us to the ferry that eventually brought us to Texel! Once on the island, it was easy to see why so many people choose to vacation here: its rolling fields and beaches provided the perfect atmosphere to rest and relax. We spent much of the next two days cycling around the island, but we also took a ride on a shrimp boat, stopped by a popular local brewery and a national park! Photos below:

Well done to this bike for making this image much cuter
