We start the day after breakfast outside realising that we don't have caps and we need to visit some shops to buy them and sunscreen. We also buy some food and start cycling out of the town.
Once we finally get on the right route, we follow the Rhine out before crossing suburbs, industrial areas and soon we are crossing fields. We change our route to take us through the windmills in Kinderdijk which makes a beautiful landscape.
We stop for tea and continue towards Dordrecht. Out second route is planned with Google and consequently takes us through a route which follows a motorway to Dordrecht. This is efficient and safe but is not so enjoyable.
We arrive at the Potillion hotel which I realise not to be in an industrial part of the city near some motorway services. Despite this the hotel is comfortable and for the first time we feel the fatigue of our first cycling day.
