Cycling is almost as important as to human is to walking - especially when you're in Holland! We got Zahara her bike last fall and she's been cranking on it weeks for this ride of a lifetime. To the animal farm!!

Total distance one way - 4.5 km/3 miles. Lil' Leia was just happy to gain the luxurious back seat!
