Hoek van Holland

The first section alone. It started with mixed feelings: excitement for what is to come. Sad separation (from Anke for 3 weeks), leaving the comfort zone...

The ride itself (Rotterdam to Hoek van Holland) was nice, but with a lot of headwind. Leg training...

And 30km of steel and concrete. How humans change the environment is clearly visible here. And Rotterdam is ranked 10th in the world (the 6 largest ports are in China...)
