Among the regular places we visit while we’re at Duinrell is the fantastic miniature park Madurodam. It’s somewhere we’ve been going since our first stay at Duinrell in 2012, with good reason, as there’s so much to see and do there.

No trip to Duinrell would be complete without a visit to the nearby city of Leiden, I’m pretty sure we’ve been here on every visit. I’ve written previously about our trips to Leiden in 2015, 2017 and 2022, but there’s always something different to see each time we come, so there’s always room for another!

Now, we’ve been meaning to go back to Rotterdam for some time. It turns out we’ve not been there for a while, not since 2013 in fact, so we were definitely due another trip.

After riding to Vlietland earlier in the day, we decided to make the most of the good weather and head to the beach at Wassenaarse Slag. Now, I’ve covered this route previously, in 2017 and 2018, so this will be a relatively brief post.

2020 was due to be our 10th consecutive trip to The Netherlands. Unfortunately, world events and the ongoing coronavirus pandemic has put a stop to that. Rather than dwell on what might have been, I thought I’d take the opportunity to look back at our previous trips to The Netherlands.
