December 9, 2025,W:NL: Die Reise zum Mittelpunkt der Niederlande ;) und die versteckte Allee

Hey!

We're back :)

A few days of total relaxation at the end of the year in a small rented cabin with a fireplace and sauna.

We're also taking good care of our physical well-being ;)

To kick things off, a short hike through the Sprielderbos forest.

Weather permitting, we'll finally get back on our bikes.

Cheers to all, Frank
