It’s spring time and I time to get on my bike and go places. I normally don’t use my bike for daily routines and prefer to walk to the grocery store or to the train station to catch a train for school. The reason? I am afraid of hitting cars on the sides of the road. I rather walk and only use my bike during the weekend when the weather is nice. This particular Sunday evening the weather was warm enough for a ride along the harbor. The goal was to get to the movable dam gate in the waterweg at Hoek van Holland (Maeslant Storm Surge Barrier). I have to admit that I almost gave up near the end of the route but Johan kept telling me not to quit.

Final Destination is that white thing way down there.

We had a beautiful weather here last weekend. I knew Saturday would be a bad day to go to the beach due to a large crowd. I waited till early evening Sunday to hit Hoek Van Holland beach. I didn’t care for getting a sun tan since I’m still trying to recover from last year’s tan. It was nice to get some sea air. I didn’t get back till almost 23:00 and had to get up at 6:00 AM on Monday. What a price to pay the first day of the week.
