(visited by Philippe Burtin and Antonella Burtin)

06-Sep-2019 -- I attended the EACTA annual meeting (eacta.org) in Ghent, Belgium and I came in through the Schiphol airport in Amsterdam. This allowed me to visit N52 E5 on the return trip to Amsterdam on September 6th.

This point is a drive-in point as it is located on the bike path running along a paved road some 13km beeline south west of Utrecht. It has already been visited 20 times. No difficulties at all to zero the point but no special interest in the area either.

We also visited Utrecht on that same afternoon and specially the Schröder de Rietveld house (1924, UNESCO World Heritage). Back in Amsterdam for dinner, we could witness how the traditional landscape of this city made of bridges and canals is changing with new and modern constructions.

The next day we made a quick visit at the RIJKS Museum in Amsterdam while waiting for our return flight. Much to see there and not only artwork !
