Tripsite Traveler: India
Hennie van den Hengel • May 17, 2017
I was so excited to go to India for two reasons. I had never been and I have dear friends, the Simons, local missionaries and native Indians, that live there.Among their many responsibilities, they manage an orphanage, housing, at the present, 5 girls from the ages of 5 to 17 years. With the help of some other friends, we showered these girls with gifts. There is nothing more rewarding than giving! After a travel conference in Cochin, I started a 5 day bike tour in the state of Kerala. Read More

The first time we visited Stratford-Upon-Avon and the Cotswolds, many years ago, we toured via rental car. This time, we booked a Shakespeare’s Country bike tour.

Looking forward to our 30th anniversary, I said to my wife, “Let’s take a trip and visit Poland.” Since she had been to my native Taiwan many times, I thought it only fitting to see the place where her ancestors came from—Poland.We wondered, how many countries could we cover on a week-long bike trip? The Moravia bike tour would take us from Poland through Czech Republic, Slovakia, and into Austria. Read More
My first experience on an electric bike
Hennie van den Hengel • Nov 9, 2016 • 1
There is power in the battery!Are you like me and too stubborn (or proud) to resort to an electric bike? There is nothing wrong with trying to stay on a regular hybrid touring bike or road bike as long as you can and as long as you are having fun! But when it becomes just a bit too difficult, or you really want to experience the beauty of a tour that is rated beyond your ability, it is time to think about your options. Read More

A Bike & Boat Tour in Poland’s Lake District: the Young, the Old, and the New
Oct 3, 2016
By: MaryAbout a year ago, we had a request come in for a bike and boat tour in Poland. Somebody had talked with somebody who had heard that there was such a tour. We searched... and we found it. Not a tour on the Baltic Sea as you would expect, but an obscure tour, undiscovered by most, in the Masurian Lake District. Over 15% of the area is covered by water and another 30% by forest. There are 2000 lakes, many interconnected, so a perfect place for a bike and boat tour and our first on lakes. Read More
