for was a fiveday 300kilometre bike tour of holland in august the highlight of their three week european holiday the duftons had become ex cited about the idea of cycling through holland two years ago when they took a threeweek bus tour from london england to rome holland was so clean recalls george of his earliest im pressions of the country we got some information on dutch cycl ing tours from the dutch travel bureau in toronto it took us about a year to piece it all together the winlane drive stouffville family flew to amsterdam on ju ly 23 after two days looking at rembrandts and van gogh originals in the rijkmuseum it was onto brussels where they saw the site of the battle of waterloo they headed to germany spending ten days driving upstream beside the rhine river in a rented car we went from castle to castle says george each one has its own legend of how it came to be and of its inhabitants and then it was off to holland for their bike tour we chose the postiljon hotels bicycle tour each day we would to get up have breakfast in the hotel and then set out for the next hotel a picnic lunch was packed for them and their luggage was transferred daily from hotel to hotel they were delighted when they found that there was a big flower show being held at cannenburgh castle outside zwolle while they were there it was just gorgeous george enthused they cycled past windmills and caught first hand glimpses of the dutch people and their lifestyle one of the things that was really fascinating was that whenever there is a prominent event in someones life the per sons friends and neighbors all get together and decorate the house there was a couple get ting married and there were banners on the house along with effigies of the couple the route led them through some fierce hills and george ad mits that despite their training they were forced to get off their bikes and push them on occasion there was a cultural mix of people in their cycling group and george maintains that the com- araderie was a big part of the tour just getting to meet the peo ple along the way was a lot of fun says george there were 46 people in the tour from england and scotland 10 from germany and we were the only canadians all the others were dutch communicating became a bit of a problem at times but accor ding to george that contributed to the overall fun i have high school french and a little ger man i can read a menu in both languages the group would cover anywhere from 50 to 70 kilometres a day and were always well received by the dutch people wherever they went george admits to being for tunate in that the sweltering temperatures experienced back home this summer were not pre sent in holland george insists hes sold on the idea of bike tours as a means of really getting to see a foreign destination it was just great and it was a good deal and it was good for us because it may be the last time we can all take a holi day together now that chad is getting older i1 on
