Boring Holland
Enjoyed reading your ride tale...however as a Dutchman I just have to defend our little country a bit. Sure, the motorways are packed and boring I guess like everywhere else but I know what you mean, it's a very orderly country with little elevation,lots of reclaimed land with gridlike roadsystems and office/industrial estates. Still there are nice scenic routes If you know how to find them, stay on the smaller countryroads and you will be suprised.
Rides are never long, it is a small country and some of the older cities have rich history and old architecture. Rotterdam was your worst bet, all heavy industry and modern buildings (it was decimated in WW2) but Amsterdam is from another world I can assure you! Ideal country for shorter trips on mainland Europe, like Belgium and Luxemburg.
