The Netherlands!

We have now finally reached the Netherlands!! People are super friendly, but know no English and talk funny. We thought that we would understand quite a bit, but no. We just nod, smile and hope for the best.

The bicycle lanes are G-R-E-A-T!! They are enormous and the cars actually care about the bicyclists. In other words, not at all like Sweden. The living standard seems to be quite high (judging from the road quality) and we have more of a “Sweden-feeling” compared to Germany. 

Yesterday it rained the WHOLE day, so it was very nice to sleep in Gerald’s flat in Ommen. We got to shower and he invited us for beer and breakfast. Now we are searching for hosts in Amsterdam. Hopefully we will find a nice place to stay at. If not, I guess we will have to try out a hostel or ordinary camping.


In Bremen we reached a low point. We couldn’t find the way out and Sammy was not feeling well. In the end he sat down on the ground next to a huge bird shitting place.
 
 On our way in Germany we met Heinrich, a super cool guy who both invited us for ice cream and showed us the way. We played on the LOTTO together, so hopefully we will soon se more of eachother!
