Enschede

I haven't been keeping the blog up to date recently because things have been far too hectic, with lots of long journeys and not many days in one place.
The journey from Zwolle to Enschede was about 70 km, I was accompanied by Huib Poortman, and we were interviewed for both radio and television by RTV Oost. http://www.rtvoost.nl/nieuws/default.aspx?nid=102858

On the way from Zwolle to Enschede we passed through the Salland National Park, a beautiful piece of heathland to the west of Enschede, before arriving in Buurse, just to the south of Enschede, where we were treated to a delicious slow food meal by Elly and Ariane. They had also invited Daphne Dertien, a Groen Links councillor on the regional council, and we had an interesting discussion about her work as a councillor, before Huib had to depart to go back home to Rotterdam. Huib has now accompanied me for several days, but this is the last I shall see of him; I shall miss his friendly advice.
