I had arrived at my destination but it was way too late.. or too early, depends on how you look at it 🙂 Except for a pub that still had some football fans having fun, the town was so quiet and still, so lovely and peaceful…. I slowly fell in love with this feeling! So I spent the night going around and basically… wasting time..
Eventually the dawn break and I started to go around sightseeing… remember, I still had some hours to spend until 18:00 when my hosts came back from work :D.
I really loved the bridges here…
and the extremely weird houses… Loved them, tickled my engineer mind and my taste for architecture. I would have loved to go inside and see how the rooms look like.
Did a cache in Helmond (GC4WZ9M now disabled) and then, tired of pedaling decided to take a break at a supermarket (and to grab a meal). My bike and trailer were dirty from all the rain and the mud along the way 🙂 and if you remember from the previous post, my tent was still wet from yesterday.
Because the weather was now much much better, sunny and hot, just like a summer day should be, I decided to take everything out to dry in the parking of the supermarket.
I also discovered that my tent got broken (I have no idea when or how..) Well: poor and cheap sew!
Since I was at a supermarket, seamed like a good place to have breakfast .. or lunch …. or whatever you want to call this meal 🙂 It was about half past 11.
Of course, I took advantage of the sun to charge my battery a bit.
To dry out the tarp, because it’s so big, I decided to go elsewhere, instead of filling two parking places. I found a nice place in the sun, near the bike path 🙂
After all of this I just settled somewhere on a bench, with the bike placed so that the solar panel was flooded with light and just spent the time writing, catching up….
When the time was right I went to Vlad’s place. Oh! Finally a shower, good meal and a proper bed! Sleep, at last!
Why stay at home when the road is so beautiful?
