Finally made it to the bike tour. It took a bit of working outside my comfort zone to get here. I had to ask many, many, many times for directions and help. After strolling up and down the dock for an hour I found it.We did our first ride arond...Northern Amsterdam for 16 kilometers. We took a ferry to cross the Ij river in Amsterdam, which was very pretty and quaint. The bike paths are amazing. Most of the lanes we had all to ourselves.
There are 25 people on board, they are from all over...Americans, Canadiens, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Dutchand Belguim. My roommate speaks French but also speaks English. I am wishing I was bilingual so that I could communicate better with other! So far it has been a friendly group, all enthusiastic about our trip.
