This was now much steeper than in the morning, the tide having come in in the meantime. It had also rained while we had taken it easy on board for a while.

Now, we also had reached the lookout terrace and were enjoying the upper-level views of our own ship. Antwerp had provided for us really well! And it was nice to get chatting to one or two of the people who had come to have a look.

On a bike trip around Hoofddorp we cycled through orchards and the bulbfields. The weather was unexpectedly nice and we toured for more than 3 hours. I have been taking pictures with the polaroid sx-70 and the Holga.

... could be made out fairly clearly where the letters had been removed.

... and we were ready for breakfast. And then, before we even knew, it was time to leave, and the first of our group were off!

... and the stern of Marco Polo.
