Karen Poret commented on a photo in To Vlissingen

It’s definitely a challenge you won’t forget! First time I did this I could not see anything as it was SO foggy!

Yes, this is the Netherlands.. Always one or two Volvo’s in the parking lots , and some Renault’s.

Regarding the lack of bathrooms in the Netherlands.. The Dutch are born to cycle , not wear a helmet, sunglasses, or sunscreen despite the fact most are fair skinned, blonde hair and would seem to be the prime candidate for skin cancers! The bathroom story is such because they are so used to riding for long periods of time, unlike Americans, they don’t think about it! Seriously!
I had a long conversation with a third generation native of the Netherlands who informed me of this fact. I take her word for it.

Aha! This is about where I (tried) to veer out of an oncoming cyclist (she was in the wrong) and unable to jump off the bike fast enough, the left pedal and the back of my left leg were “joined”. ugh. 6 months later and I still have the scar to prove it.

Oh. How disappointing. I read the caption and assumed it was for one of my selfies.

We were so sorry to miss Saintes Maries de la Mer. Our table mates and interpreters in Vallon Pont d’Arc, a couple from Belgium, were headed there and raved about it. We will get to experience it through you!

Oh, well that’s certainly romantic. I was picturing painted wagons and horse drawn carts, but a fleet of white vans sounds pretty special too. Thanks for the tip.
