The weather hasn't changed - enough said - no choice but to get back on the bikes. We left Bunnik at 9:00, rain gear on once again. Went through the towns of Odijk, Langbroek, Leersum before stopping for lunch in Amerongen. After lunch the sun was out and we cycled on top of the dykes passing through the towns of Kesteren, Ochten and Dodewaard. Our stop for the night was at Hotel Rozenhof on the outskirts of Nijmegen. Now the sun is shining - we've seen a "rainbow" - hope this is a sign of better things to come. At the motel we ask for a laundromat - by now our wet clothes do not smell very pleasant and are still wet. They make the gracious offer of their industrial washer and dryer - how much better can it get. The cyclists rush to take a shower, we gather all the laundry and get it started while we eat a delicious 4 course dinner at the hotel. What a treat to get it done for everyone. We fill 5 clothes lines with cycling shorts in the furnace room. They were all dry in the morning. We were spoiled with free WiFi as well here.

Since I am posting this on Tuesday night, I should say that first thing in the morning Andy fixed Rita's flat tire so there should be a flat for Monday but we will count it for Tuesday.
