Afstand moeten we nog uitzoeken.
Het was een lange wandeling.
Schitterend. Weer was ook fantastisch.

Zuidlaren to Rolde.... um.... Gasteren!
The walk should have been 16km, turned out to be over 20km (estimate) and we never found Rolde. Took a wrong turning somewhere on the Ballooërveld and ended up going north, which led us to the wrong side. We exited where we should have entered. Reason was the changed route which we did not trust at that point (after a number of bad directions and signposts). So we staggered back to Gasteren and took the bus to Assen station. We were footsore and tired. Next time, we'll start off at the Ballooërveld and walk from there (we know now where we went wrong).
Drenthe is awesomely beautiful. I'd love to live there. Sam was brilliant - even though he was quite bolshie towards the end, lying down on the job whenever we paused for a few seconds and refusing to get up again... but he was easily bribed with a little piece of cheese.
He and Milan are now comrades for life.

25 May 2008, Glimmen to Zuidlaren
Sunday
Total Pieterpad distance for the two days was 21 km but we walked a little bit more.
It was good that we split it over two days, good for our own feet and for the boys.
The Sunday, Nic and Luca walked as well. Luca did really well, next time he´ll come along on his bike with Nic.
We had cooler weather than on the Saturday and timed it really well because the first splatters of rain started to come down when we hit the outskirts of Zuidlaren. Of course we had a pancake stop when we came to the end point of the day´s walk. Then, on to Assen to the Chinese Terracotta Army exibit for Milan (school project).
It was a wonderful day and a lovely walk. The landscape of Drenthe is magnificent, we all are in agreement that we would love to live there.
Here´s an overview of the day:
Some movies shot on Suday:
Two playful horses, being egged on by the brothers:
And here are Elma's pictures (many taken by Milan, actually):

24 May 2008, Groningen to Glimmen
Saturday
We left by train on Saturday morning 20 to 10, arrived in Groningen just past noon. Ate something at Burger King and then we were on our way.
The weather was beautiful and the walk was magical.
Nic and Luca met up with us at the farmhouse where we stayed the night.
We had supper at an Italian restaurant in Zuidlaren, came home filled with good food and tumbled into bed, exhausted.
Here are some video's from Saturday.
