After a nice breakfast and conversation with Nicole and Giuseppe, we said our good byes and headed towards our first junction point, the Hook of Holland.

Back in the Dunes once again, no large grazzers, just the odd horse, no head wind but a slight cross wind.

As soon as we made the sharp left turn at the Hook, we could feel the immediate effect of that tail wind. We managed to maintain 20 kph all the way to Rotterdam with much less effort. 

We are now at the Ibis Hotel, located on a small island and surrounded by boats on most sides. Tomorrow morning, we plan to circle the island before making our way to Nieuwegein.

This is why I carry bungee cords, one trip to the room :)
