#Colorful open-air ferry stop.

We were cycling in Friesland, following the bicycle path crossing polders and green fields. The path stopped right here in front of the canal, which has to be crossed with this pontje (ferry for walkers and bikers) and its lovely captain. This was a good excuse to have a break and shows how good the bicycle path system is in the Netherlands.
