After breakfast and a nice walk on the beach we headed off towards Belgium, just a hop away.
Found a lovely place to camp near a canal outside Brugge and decided after lunch to cycle in to the town as we had all afternoon, rather than leave it for tomorrow when the weather was supposed to be even hotter!! It was nice and shady under the trees so we were happy enough to leave the dogs.
Belgium is great for cycling - FLAT, with cycle paths and right of way everywhere, and did I mention FLAT!! Even I could get used to cycling here!!
The town centre was just a bunch of old buildings - seen one, seen them all really. We bought some stickers for the truck (only reason to enter any kind of civilization) and had coffee in a little coffee shop. We toyed with the idea of sharing a waffle, but neither of us was hungry - on the way back we will definitely have to have an official Belgium waffle! The lane where we camped was quiet but for a gazillion cyclists coming past!! Most people seem to be over the age of 60 and most look miserable - like they been sucking lemons for lunch. There were a few friendly people who shouted hello, but most just looked us up and down with their sour faces so I said to Chris I wondered if we were doing something wrong when we were cycling on the path into town!!
