Distance: 138km
Total: 3778km
It was good night concerning the temperature, but the urban noise of surroundings started to bother the sleep towards the morning. Thanks to my friend again for the breakfast, its good start for the day to start cycling with something in stomach. The weather forecast said it was gonna be another +34°C day, so tried to get close to the seaside before all morning's coolness is gone. This got me on 65km before the noon and it indeed felt good to get some sea wind, specially when driving on the sand dunes.
Entered the Netherlands just after 35km and the amount of bicycle ways and signs was just stunning. Practically every road had bicycle lanes or separate smooth cycling road. Took a ferry from Breskens to Vlissingen, which was pretty quick ride. After the ferry took more scenic cycling route along the coast, but it was just so full of other cyclists that moving was pretty difficult, also the route wasn't very straight. After while decided to take smoother cycling route more in inland - not only that there IS cycling route, there's several to pick from, so hilarious comparing to cycling route situation of eastern European countries. This jungle of cycling routes also gets you bit 'lost' as there's just so much signs and information when several routes meet - usually in village centers.
Just before finding my mini campsite, crossed the long water barricades between the islands to control the water levels. Tomorrow towards Amsterdam, unlikely though that I'll reach it tomorrow - which is kind of annoying if I'm to take break day there.
