Day four and day five of the bike barge trip

This is our ship, Sailing Home as she sails down the Rhine past us. 

Day four we left Rees and headed to Arnhem. This is a fresh strawberry vending machine. Only 2€ for a basket of strawberries, so cool. 

We had lunch at Doorneburg Castle. Norm being punished.

It was quiet today but on weekends activities take place here. 

We arrived early afternoon in Arnhem so we're able to walk about the town. Since Norm and I had been here three weeks earlier we skipped the "Bridge too Far" and other sites to instead relax and find Norm an English newspaper. 

By day five some of our fellow passengers are maybe a little testy today. The weather hasn't been the best and you quickly learn where it is the best place to cycle amongst the group. I try to stay away from the talkative ones, not behind the slowest ones and away from the dangerous ones, not always possible. 

We left Arnhem and did some really nice biking through the woods, up some hills and great trails.

Some of these open space will be filled with colour once all the heather blooms. 

Next stop a war museum just as the skies poured down. Outside an airplane and old car being worked on.

Back on the bikes through some rain and on to Wijk bij Duurstede. We got to go through a lock which was quite interesting.

And the locks open again. 

Walk about that evening Norm found a windmill and a castle.

Last bike tomorrow. Good!
