A Bridge Too Far
A Bridge Too Far
I had two weeks off so we spent the first sunny days with mountain biking
before heading to the Netherlands to see the bridge from Arnhem you (may) know from the movie "A Bridge Too Far"
too bad that corona shut down kicked in while being there, but I never travel unprepared
Dinner in the hotel room from MREs Lunch in the trunk Luck us, one museum was still open https://www.arnhemsoorlogsmuseum.com/ and we could see their amazing collection like
Hitlers sofa!

Re: A Bridge Too Far
Some of you may have already heard, if not, or, are not familiar with actor, Ben Cross, who was a prolific English actor, passed away suddenly. He completed his final film before his illness took him. He made his film debut in A Bridge too Far and went on to star in many films, TV movies, and shows.

Re: A Bridge Too Far
I love these bike adventures! Can’t wait until the leg heals up and can load up and go for a cruise. Definitely some great motivation for adventure. Danke!
All the best, Gents.
