Last week, the Italians I spent “la Nuit Blanche’07″ with and me devoted our Thursday to a nice bike trip.

It took us all the morning to get to Haarlem since we left Sarphatistraat later than we expected (around 11am) and we took photos to the landscape (a lake, the cows, the bike lane, …) and to us while we’re biking.

Once we got to Haarlem, we walked around for a while, had lunch and admired the beauty of the Grote Markt.

In the afternoon, we decided to get to the nearby sea coast… If only it hadn’t been so difficult!! But it was worth it…

But, since it took us such a long time to finally reach the beach, in an hour it got dark…

….however, it allowed us to enjoy a beautiful sunset.

Eventually, after biking through the darkness up to Haarlem, we came back to Amsterdam by train.
