Yesterday was OK weather wise, even sunny at times. This morning I’m greeted with a familiar sky, completely grey. No discernable edges to the clouds and no colour. It’s like an unfinished painting where the sky has yet to be done.

It’s fairly typical of the location and time of year, another sign that I’m really not far from home now. My American friends have completed their journey, and this week will see me compete mine – I hope!

I’ll push into Holland today and maybe the north coast if the weather’s not too bad. I’d like to see the dike (dyke?) and explore some of the part that’s not Amsterdam. I’ve only been to Amsterdam and I’m curious as to what else lies in Holland.
