Voorthuizen to Hans and Trees in Driebergen

An easy day today with a couple of forests to travel through, in fact one forest was quite dense and even had gravel roads! I also got to do a major climb today, over 30 metres! I was actually getting pretty tired by the top, but the coast down the other side was very welcome. I was supposed to pass several castles today but I only saw one, and it was closed.

I got to Hans and Trees' at around 1.30 pm. After a I spent the whole afternoon chatting with Hans and Trees. They were both quite keen to have a wine but I did think 2 pm was a tad early! After all we are not in Spain now. By 5 pm they were both keen as custard to open a bottle, so we had a very nice bottle of Sancere.

For dinner Trees cooked a delicious schnitzel, with potato's (that they don't normally eat, a diet), beans, a vegetable stir fry and a salad that Hans made. This was all of course washed down with a rather nice, light, 2005 red from Burgundy. Delicious. I was a bit sloshed by the time we finished all that. Hans kept topping my glass up and then having just a little more himself (1/8th of a glass). For dessert we had strawberries which I had with the last of the strawberry sorbet and Hans had with Grand Marnier and a strawberry sauce.
