Day 6 – Onto the cycling capital of the world, Amsterdam 

After early breakfast and the staff mentioning how much we ate we set off on the flat plains to Amsterdam, it is almost boringly flat compared to the hills of Northumberland.

Today is really the final day of the challenge as we had a day to spare for any problems along the way; so we rolled into Amsterdam with 73 miles in the legs! 

After passing the usual Dutch houses, scenery and windmills we passed Noah’s ark. In the garden there was 2 kangaroos, 2 turkeys, 2 peacocks, 2 dear and 2 horses all in the same field! Where on earth do you buy a kangaroo from!? 

When booking a hotel last night we didn’t know that it had only been open a day. We apologised that they would have to defumigate the room after we had christened it!  

On our ‘holiday’ day tomorrow we have decided to do some cycling with a spin around to Edam to load what space we have left in our panniers with cheese and head back to the port! 

Off on a night out in Amsterdam to celebrate!
