Journey: Amsterdam – Nieuwer Ter Aa (near Utrecht)
Our final day in Amsterdam and we opted for a free sculpture trail that took us to a new part of the city (we have loved the museums but they soon add up). By the time we got back we had walked 12 miles and were knackered. Quite early on I got hungry and moany, and we couldn’t find a cafe…so Markles ignored me until I was fed and a nice person again…we really must pack protein bars for our walks. Lots of great sculptures though and it was fun exploring. We rushed back to catch the water taxi but it had broken down so that added another walk to a new area to catch a different boat, which was a sort of bonus.
After lunch we took the pups on a graffiti trail, Jasper was too cool for school, Mabel was wondering why she couldn’t observe the graffiti from the van sofa and Ernest is such a lump now 😂 And when we got back the parking officers had just given us a ticket – despite walking up and down the street several times neither of us had spotted the no motorhome sign 🙈
We drove part way to Utrecht and found a lovely proper campsite on a farm, and the pups have met a really friendly pig, chickens, rabbits and sheep. They had a mad run around and Jasper went in the lake, and then joy of joys the showers were untimed so my skanky body had a lovely long shower and I feel squeaky clean for the first time in ages. Turns out it wasn’t all dirt…I actually have tan lines on my feet 😂 Currently sitting in bed with a bar of chocolate having a girly pamper, feeling rejuvenated.
