Let's go to the Vondelingenplaat and follow the Vondelingenweg to the end.

Pouring rain, 6bft headwind. Perfect!
Taking a thermos with hot peasoup and a bit of red wine with me for a late dinner.

Stopped here because I forgot to put the raincover on my backpack. Too late. Spare jersey soaked... Continue and make the best of it.

Hope the phone is a bit water resitant.

The end of "Tankhoofd".

Just too late to capture the big ship passing by because thick soaked gloves are not good with the tiny phone buttons.

Going back. Big steaming lightshow. Draining canals are flooded to roadlevel almost.

Time for hot soup with a view. No more pictures, I fear for my phone, it blacked out a few times.

Sat there, nicely in the windshade. Somebody lovingly stickered "Rotterdam" in colorful letters on the door. Probably in sunnier times!

Oh, and halfway the Beneluxtunnel I had an 'instant fixie' while at speed. A piece of string wound around the cassette wedging it so no more freewheel. It instantly dropped the chain when I stopped pedalling. Had to do some road-side mechanics to fix the fixie ;P
