Friday. Left a little after nine. Nikor. A gray day, with light southerly winds. Along the Straatweg, one temperature display gave 10 degrees, but the dampness made it feel cooler. ARK from Maarssen. Hardly anyone there, but all the way to Amsterdam barges large and small, though none so small as to have no space on deck for a car. Nederhorst den Berg visible from before Indijkweg, thanks to the barren trees. The much-improved route into the city to the Bushuis. Home by way of Weesperzijde, the empty spot where the Omval used to be, Duivendrecht, Abcouderpad, past Abcoude. It is all built up, but at least one can get through it very efficiently, and with some shelter from southern winds. Slightly milder than in the morning and a semblance of light in the southwest, but never any clearing--just gray. At Indijkweg toward Baambrugge. Straatweg to Loenersloot fairly quiet. The big bend with the traffic in the distance--the world of misery far enough away. Loenen and the Vecht in the dusk. Detour at Maarssen due to a Christmas market. Oud Zuilen and into the city.
