Three weeks of solo bike touring and camping, across 600+ miles of The Netherlands and Belgium. Riding over massive man-made dikes, on paved bike paths cutting through dark forests and rural farm fields (where I might not see another person for hours), to Trappist breweries and old towns, along canals, on muddy back roads and unsigned border crossings, and to a bonfire with a band playing under a rusted crane.

With the kindness of strangers setting me up with coffee, beer, or directions along the way, and meeting up with friends from around the world in the middle.

One of the best vacations / trips.

A very approximate map, just based on what towns I remember seeing.

Or about 70 single-photo posts I uploaded on slow campground/hostel wifi along the way (in an era before it was easy to create albums…)
