Last Day of Biking – Day 5
Yesterday was rough. I was biking into strong winds much of the time. I was heading mostly south and west, and the wind was from the southwest.
It poured through much of the morning, I just stayed in the water park. Most pools/parks in the US seem to close if there’s rain, but this was just a rainstorm, not a thunderstorm. I finally ran out in the rain and moved my bike to a covered “porch”. Ate breakfast, packed, put on my rain suit then left. If course it never rained the rest of the day.
I tried to take two ferries – after biking into the wind so much I was looking forward to a break. The ferries weren’t running. 
I did go east though, and didn’t even have to pedal for almost 1.5 miles. The difference was like sledding downhill instead of plodding up a never-ending hill.
I planned on going to a campground near a small town called De Heen. Problem was it took forever each time I went south. So I got there around 9. The campgrounds (2 different campgrounds) on my maps didn’t exist, so I was riding around looking for them.
Finally I stopped at a golf club. There was a small party going on. The waiter told me they used to have a camping there but it closed. But it would be fine if I camped outside. And they have showers I could use.
Perfect!
Turns out the showers were the style used at campgrounds, this may well be the leftovers from when they had a campground. I went to bed at 10:30 then was up by 6 and left by 7:15.
Cant believe how nice Dutch people are!
Trying to make Antwerp tonight. Harm tells me there’s a storm heading to Zeeland, and I’m at the east side of Zeeland. The wind is coming from the south, and I have to go south.
Bye!
