Ok, it’s rainy and windy and here we are heading away from the cozy city. When we told people we were going biking in Holland they said “oh yes, nice and flat.” BUT does anyone ever talk about the wind!?! There’s a TON of wind to deal with. Honestly, do you know anyone as crazy as us???Look at these cute ducks we spotted while biking. Anyone know what kind they are? (Found out -Egyptian goose with goslings!)At a couple of different junctions we came to points where we had to take a self serve ferry. Pull the “boat” across the canal to our side by turning a wheel that drives a chain and drags the boat to us.Get on the ferry and reverse the process. Now that we’ve crossed the water we are back on our way. Fun!Quintessential Dutch!Lunch time!Fortified, we turn for home.Lovely community garden or as our British friends say – allotment!Look at the perfect hedgerows that border these gardens. Takes a community to do that!!!Vermeer’s MilkmaidenSee the resemblance?Part of Delft’s economic heritage is in printing. The bible hanging on the corner of this building recalls the first printed Dutch Bible, produced here in 1477.Like me, do you think this an odd juxtaposition?Awwwww…There’s a lot to love about Delft 💕
I was going to google the duck but I see Casey beat me to it!! This is a particularly cool collection of photos! Was the ferry heavy? Loved the reveal of the Subway in the historic building, very funny!
Barbara, I have a bicycle that looks a little bit like yours, same colour, with a basked up front, very similar…except that it’s electric! I can now see how that might come in handy in Holland!

Unfortunately we never have our own bike with us. We just rent them. I often did wish they were electric. That would have been very helpful! 😉
