We have just returned from our wonderful bike trip to Holland! We loved everything – the tour started in Abcoude and we did a loop from there to Leiden, then to Gouda, Ultrecht and back to Abcoude. Each hotel was charming and in a good location for the attractions. The people we met along the way were so friendly too. We also have to mention how much we liked our bikes!...Read More
