An active, fun vacation
Is it possible to have fun on vacation and maintain your fitness level?
Definitely!
Mike and I are currently on a week-long bicycle/barge tour in the Netherlands. We sleep on the barge at night, and during the day ride hybrid bicycles 30-40 miles to our next destination. A local tour guide plans out the route, with stops along the way to learn about historical sites.
Not only are we biking every day, but we’re also enjoying 3 daily meals of healthy food: dense whole grain breads, fresh fruit, and seasonal vegetables. There’s no snacking unless we choose to indulge in a pastry or ice cream during one of our stops, and our primary beverage is water.
We’re having a wonderful time learning about the Netherlands, interacting with the 20 other people in our tour group, and traveling along the fantastic Dutch bike lanes. Read more about our trip on the Highlights of Holland page on my website - and start planning your next vacation to include exericse!
