In May 2007, we decided to make a one-week tour in the Netherlands. As it was very hard to choose where exactly to go, it was a logical choice to just go around the whole country ;). To make scheduling a bit easier, we followed some of the national cycling routes, indicated by `LF'-signs on the road.
Unfortunately, after a long period of sunny weather, we started our tour exactly at the moment the weather prediction changed from `very good' to `very bad'. After a few days, indeed we got a lot of wind and rain. Anyway, still had a lot of fun, and only one flat tire on the whole tour.

During all this cycling, it wasn't easy to stop and take pictures :). As the weather also turned quite wet during the second part of the tour, I took only few pictures. Never mind, good excuse to go again next time ;).
