The Long Dunes...

After our urban walk, it was time to head out into the countryside for the official 14-mile (22.5K) route called The Long Dunes. Only 20% of the route was on paved roads.

Considering how far from the coast we were, it was surprising to cross so much sand. 

Since we would be walking so far, I didn’t bring Kati along, so here’s a photo of a random pretty dog.

This sign made me laugh. Presumably it wasn’t a gender thing, but rather meant that the route was for people rather than horses.

It was a nice walk to Hollandsche Rading, a small village west of Amersfoort. We missed the train by seconds, so were thrilled to see that there was a station café where we could hang out and have some delicious pie.
