No alcohol...something, something in Dutch. And now they want us to "drinkwater" too? What is this bullshit?
INTPix:
But it's a lovely city full of canals (not the appropriate source of drinkwater, stick to faucets).
INTPix:
And someone graffitied a perfect likeness of Thomas onto this wooden barricade. How sweet.
INTPix:
Holland is a land of adorable tiny cars. This Pepto Bismol pink model is one of my favorites.
INTPix:
Holland's countryside has everything one could hope for in a cycling holiday: painterly clouds, wary sheep...
INTPix:
We're taking the scenic route (courtesy of this GPS device provided by the nice folks who arranged the tour), which occasionally means a canal ferry crossing.
INTPix:
It rains a lot in this part of Europe, which means flowers all over the place. (And we're not even here during tulip season.)
INTPix:
If I'm recalling correctly, these flowers are atop a roadway near Leiden. Plants adorning concrete structures are a frequent sighting in Holland.
INTPix:
And now we're in Leiden, where (like in Cabaret) everything is beautiful. The buildings are beautiful...
INTPix:
I was actually getting a bit annoyed with Leiden while trying to edit this album, because every goddamn picture is album-worthy.
INTPix:
And look! My new iPhone can appropriately meter for nighttime photography! Well worth the upgrade from the 2011 model.
INTPix:
A Dutch breakfast. (Which doubles as a Dutch lunch if packed properly.) And, yes, those are hardboiled eggs under the chicken cozies.
INTPix:
In addition to it's handsome architecture and verdant canals, Leiden (university town that it is) is home to the Hortus Botanicus, Holland's oldest botanical garden.
INTPix:
Otherwise known as Thomas's least favorite sight on our trip. He was a good sport about it though.
INTPix:
Here, have another picture of Venus flytraps. Because I know you at least will appreciate them.
