The decision was not a bad one, Dordrecht was a good place to cycle and the weather was not the worst.The cycles we hired, were not the standard ones. They were different, little did we know that the difference would make the whole trip a pain in the a$$(not just literally) for someone.

After the initial lost and found exercise, we finally proceeded on the right track. I will have to say again ,cycling in Holland is an unexplainable feeling. Sa took a lot of photos.Few of them needed elevated sense of imagination to be comprehended accurately.Failure to do so, would infuriate him and expressions such “its just a tree boss”, would only make him explain further the creative ideas behind the photo.

Sa’s Masterpiece

Me and Su were more interested in the long straight stretch of 8KM.We cycled quite fast with limited breaks.
Once we reached the 8KM stretch, Su and me started to race against the wind.The start of the long road provoked unimaginable feelings in us.They were soon to be shattered when we realized SA was missing.As we waited, Sa arrived ever so slowly. As Sa struggled to complete one complete revolution without getting his ass of the seat, one wondered was this the moment to laugh or cry.  Su found opportunities to click some quick photos. And then, Sa put a full stop to the entire expedition by announcing in puffed whispers “Yaar yeh cycle puncture ho gaya hai”.

Never miss an opportunity in front of the camera

Indeed, the cycle tyre looked more like masala papad.
We did enjoy the ride back to the cycle shop(Discount SA from the we).Sa was extremely courageous.He cycled a punctured tyre for around 8km.He still enjoyed picturing nature and the better half of it.His photos would make trees grow in 2 directions and under water(make sure you hear his application as you look at the photo).Su just stared at the photos and commented ” Boss, you get these photos in google..”

The cycle shop owner asked us to expect a bill for punctured tyre!! things work quite differently back in holland.Trip got screwed( and for one , the a$$ and back), and we still get to pay extra money.

The expereince was a different kind and i enjoyed it as always.
So the next time , take the 1 euro insurance for the cycle.

Every day is a winding road

Adios!!
