Day 2 – from Koksijde to Eeklo

I might just take the shortcut!


Broken chain. Good thing I brought a spare 👍


Somehow the cigarette in his mouth completes the picture.


Sitting out the rain

A drop of oil on the chain and some air in the tyres and she’ll be good to go.


Bruges is very picturesque. Pity it was raining a lot so I was not able to linger.


Lots of wildlife today.

Coot nest
There’s always an adventurous one
A heron (possibly)

The cycle paths are superb. These tree lined paths next to the canals go on for miles.


It was a harder day, mainly because of the drenching rain later in the day.

Total time including stops was 7:40.

I had to take the bunny detour in the end because the towpath was closed.

    But if you take the shortcut, you’ll be missing out on the opportunity to have a bunny shape in your route 🐇

    Brugge is such a lovely place, chocolate and beer seem to be the main focus there :), you can try out your Afrikaans on unsuspecting Belgians

    Gent is a lovely place – if you choose to sight see a little ..say my cousins.

    Lovely lanes, broken chains, heavy rains. A cyclist’s life 😄
