Walk started in Penningsveer, tiny village in the municipality of Haarlemmermeer. Along the beautiful Nel to the cozy village of Spaarndam, where catering was open on Mondays. That was a stroke of luck. Back along the Spaarne. Beautiful walk.

It was dry (that was a while ago) and very occasionally the sun even broke through (a little) (that was also a while ago)! 🌥️

To be on the safe side, we had planned another asphalt walk, but even on the asphalt it was far from dry... it is still wet everywhere, not normal! 😱💦
