Day 12 - Zoetermeer


We have some time to reflect on what it's like being in Holland. Ric's view is that although it's flat, it's not as flat as he expected, and there is much more water - canals everywhere (from large ones for transportation to small ones for irrigation), so you're never far from water.




Ric is having another quiet day, but we still manage to go out to the Zoetermeer markets, and a short ride. It's a public holiday, so virtually nothing's open.
For dinner we had 'rundvleessalade schotel', which is beef, potatoes and mayonaise (we think) blended and then topped with pickled onoins, eggs, capsicum and dotted with more mayonaise. Pretty interesting (see pic).
