Today was a bad day, even though I had the flu I had a couple of beers last night, the problem is that the Belgium beers are about 2-3 times stronger than English or Aus beers. This in-turn led to an escalated night that ended late, real late.
The plan was to get up about 9-10 am, have breakfast and ride out, it was a shorter ride (50k or so) and we new it would be fine. Instead we came out of a deep sleep at 12 noon as the guys were cleaning our room for the next people, in the frantic dash to get out of there we threw everything into our bags and onto the bikes. To make things better a cold front had come in over night and after leaving our riding shoes outside for 2 days to dry the were saturated by the rain.
finally
We then went in circles around Antwerp for about 1.5 hours until we found our way out of town we headed towards Breda in the Netherlands.
thank you kind choc people
To cut the post short we rode in the rain all day, the best part was when we knocked on a chocolate factories door and asked for chocolate, they were nice and gave us some (so we got to visit a Belgium chocolate factory, tick that off the list).
YEAH NETHERLANDS
Another lucky thing was that Breda was a direct line from Antwerp and required very little navigation.
Why are we in France?
Riding in the rain did do wonders for my flu………
if you want to laugh at us riding in the rain you can see it all at
