As reported, we cycled around Meppel yesterday. The weather was very good for cycling, quite sunny, not too hot and little wind. The surroundings of Meppel consist of nature reserves (we cycled through 'de Wieden') and small scale farmland (mainly dairy farming). We also went through Giethoorn, which is called the "Venice of the North' as the houses are built on islands and are only accessible by boat or on foot over little bridges. All in all we cycled about 35KM and really enjoyed it.
Today, the weather is very different. Cold and a persistent drizzle make it quite unpleasant outside, but after motoring the 3 hours to Zwolle we have time to do some work and catch up on emails etc.
Meppel: Nice spot right under the windmill!

I thought storks were quite rare!
