I slept very well last night, which is important when one has a cold. Thanks, Marianne! And also for fresh orange juice at breakfast, and golden kiwi...
The wind was with me again, and it was a very smooth ride from Emmen to Swolle. I refrained from taking pictures of monkey puzzles, to avoid boring you, reader. Anyway, today's focus was clearly on facades. Zwolle is an ancient Hanseatic town surrounded by moats, and was in a strategic position to exchange goods with northern Germany. After the Spaniards left in 1572, the fortifications were reinforced - the Sassenpoort (Saxon door) still bears witness to it.
