Hello friends,
that was the last tour "Ijsselmeer".
I'm back home after 2100 km. The bike, trailer and driver held out until the end. 😉
It was a wonderful trip, during which I met lots of great people and experienced lots of impressions.
If you want to know more about the tour, you can write to me at my email …
