I grew up with the promise of a cardboard box, the mystery toy buried somewhere deep within the cornflakes.
Shopping online, life is now routinely delivered to our door in cardboard boxes of all shapes and sizes, each one a mystery.
At Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam, I’m waiting at the oversized luggage carousel for our boxed bicycles to appear. Suddenly the bicycles arrive and we jump about like excited kids, quickly setting about putting them together there and then, by the carousel: Wheels, handlebars, peddles and panniers.
We cycled straight out through international arrivals and back into the Netherlands; my cycling paradise!
Riding safely on designated cycleways out across the country through Utrecht, Lagedijk, Megen, heading south

Oh how exciting Nick! What a feeling putting together your wheels at the airport – only you can do this! Have an awesome time – I too have had a little cycle just out of Amsterdam- and agree that it is so beautiful- the canals out there are also wonderful ! Enjoy yourselves! 😎
