Marken is a small island to the north of Amsterdam- about 16km from the north-eastern edge of the city. Considering we left from the west, it turned out to be a 45km round trip. Great on the way there (wind at our backs) but a struggle on the way back! Marken is now connected to the mainland by a Dyke, so when cycling you see the Ijsselmeer on the one side and the polder (farmland) on the other. A short distance outside Amsterdam you reach Durgodam, a small collection of houses along the Dyke. The pics at the bottom show the start of the trip, so scroll up for chronological order (next time I'll do this differently :)
