“Around the Ijsselmeer”: Bike and Sail North Holland. This is a bicycle tour of Holland on a 3 masted , Leafde fan Fryslan. We sailed around the Ijsselmeer which is a freshwater lake of 425 sq. miles. It was formed by the building of a man made dike closing off the North Sea.
I did this trip with my daughter-in-law, Annette Vannice. We shared a very small cabin on the schooner. Some of the highlights are featured in the following photos. We booked this through Vermont Bicycle Tours and it was fantastic.
We started the trip with a stay in Amsterdam for a few days. Annette and I toured The Hague and the quaint neighborhoods with the canals, house boats, and lots of bicycles. There are more bikes than cars and it was an adventure to make sure we stayed out of the bike lanes.
