Everyone in Holland rides bikes (apparently 10,000 wind up in the canals each year!) so I decided to go native and rented yellow bike. I had the entire day to kill so I hopped on the ferry and just kept going.
I wound up on this 7 km bike path that went across a lake. It was the coolest out path I have ever ridden on. The day was absolutely beautiful and I passed lots of cute little towns on my way and had a super relaxing time.
My ride ended at Marken Island, a really tiny island that was pretty tourist but also had some cool shops and was quite pretty. It was a fun, yet exhausting, trek. 
On my way back, I ran across these boaters who were stuck under a bridge. They couldn't speak English but it was evident that they needed help. They're boat couldn't fit under the bridge and the two of them couldn't lift it up on their own, so I tried to help. My weight wasn't enough, but luckily two more people were just a few minutes behind me. All together the five of us were able to pull up the bridge. It was a cool experience!
I also saw lots of windmillss.
