Flatlands - Day 11: Oostende -> Ypres (55 km)
In #Nieuwpoort ,we left the coast behind and entered southwards the West Flanders plain. A major theater of World War I, the region is dotted with #peace memorials, some of which—such as the famous Yser Tower at #Diksmuide —have since become symbols of Flemish #nationalism .

Flatlands - Day 10: Vlissingen -> Oostende (68 km, including the #ferry crossing of the Schelde river - or is it already the sea?)
Leaving the #Netherlands and entering #Belgium facing strong headwind and a few rains.

Flatlands - Day 9: Renesse -> Vlissingen (51 km)
After two days off it felt good to be back on the road. We even rode through #Domburg where more than 50 years ago, as a teenager, I had been #camping quite often with my friends. Sweet memories.

Flatlands - Day 8: Hoek van Holland -> Renesse (61 km)
We started already sick but with tailwind. Our #ferry across the #Meuse almost collided with one of those fantastic new #cargo #sailing #ships .Later, some non-human #pedestrians blocked the bike path. Then, it was a long battle against a fierce headwind! Now two days off to cure our colds.

Flatlands - Day 7: Zandvoort -> Hoek van Holland (62 km)
Thanks to the tailwind, we were sailing rather than cycling, traveling along a single paved bike path far from roads through the dunes, a unique ecosystem. We even saw a deer, but since it didn’t want to be photographed, we respected its #privacy .

Flatlands - Day 6: Weesp -> Zandvoort (45 km).
It was a pleasant Sunday ride through the greater #Amsterdam area to the nearby #sea .Although the entire route follows wonderful bike paths, it obviously takes a long time because you have to stop frequently at traffic lights.
