February 5- Today I decided to go for a bike ride with a couple other guys. We biked through Amsterdam to central station and then took a ferry over to Noord-Holland. The ferry was free and we could also take our bikes with us.
The picture above is looking at the buildings in Amsterdam. Once leaving Amsterdam, the scenery changed drastically. There were no buildings around but only small towns. There was a lot of green and open areas to bike and walk around. It is amazing how different the rural areas look from the urban cities such as Amsterdam.
This picture is of open pasture land in Noord- Holland which is quite different from an urban setting. There is a line where the buildings stop and fields start. The Netherlands is basically split into large areas of farmland and pastures or large cities. There is very little mixture of both. We followed a path along a canal for a while and decided to turn back in order to find some cheap food. We found a small Turkish restaurant and most of the guys ate a Turkish pizza. The bike ride was about 3.5 hours and went about 15-20 miles.
