Breakfast is served during our cruise along the Nederrijn.  Our trip leaders teach us useful phrases during a brief language class before we arrive in Wageningen, where our ride begins.  Bike through the Veluwe Forest to Otterlo and then enter the Hoge Veluwe National Park.  Cycle the beautiful biking trails through the park, with an optional visit to the Kroller-Muller Museum, famous for its Van Gogh collection.

Most days we have the option of a shorter bike ride, being then shuttled to the barge, or a longer riding option.  Today that longer ride will continue through the park to the southern exit at Schaarsbergen, and on to meet the barge in Arnhem.

After dinner, our trip leaders will walk with us to see the "Bridge Too Far: over the Lower Rhine and explain its importance to WWII history.  We are moored tonight in Arnhem.
