Zutphen to Deventer
     Warm to hot ride today from Zutphen up to the Royal residense, called Het Loo.  They call it a "castle"  but it looks just like a huge estate house.  We started by touring the gardens,  Fountains, fruit trees, sculpted hedges, perfect lawn grass, and of course  lots of flowers.  Next was inside, wow.  There is a very large stable, with tack and uniforms from earlier times.  Next to the stables were the carages and autos used by the royals.  We then took in the interior of the castle, lots of rooms all very well appointed.  Large paintings, really nice and detailed finish work..After the castle we headed back to the barge.  Went past a small airport that was busy with sky divers and a glider flight.  Stopping for an afternoon beer on the way.

I've been using google images and looking up the places you mention. Het Loo grounds are amazing!
