Yes, I did figure this out eventually. Pretty funny first interpretation though.

We. That’s hard to imagine. It really must have seemed like it went on forever.

Thanks, Karen. It is really an attractive area, one I’d like to return to again someday.

Unfortunately, I must have a very small bladder and always have to think about where I can go. I don’t need a toilet, just a place to hide. That’s one of the many reasons I like to hike on a non travel day!

Thanks for the reminder. It’s been almost two months since this day and I haven’t thought about it since then. I’m going to have to make a winter project of rereading the journal to remind myself where the year went.

Thanks for pointing this out, Karen. I’ve never heard of this part of the war. Reading up on it now I feel anguished for the Canadian volunteers who had been fighting continuously since the D-Day invasion and were suffering from battle exhaustion. “ Men suffering from battle exhaustion would go catatonic and curl up in fetal position, but the report found that after a week of rest, most men would recover enough to speak and move about.”

Definitely. Best ferry ride ever.

So much work, but SO much fun!

Form of a wind break!

Ooh. Uncle Beach! The scene of the battle of the Scheldt. In 1944

Definitely is a different scenario when there are a lot of people and bikes! It was quite busy, but, as the Dutch do..well organized.

Thank you for helping me to relive my own adventures in this area again; within 6 months of my own cycling trip! However, you were able to stop and take wonderful photos..mine are “in my head”..
