Day 3 – from Eeklo to Antwerp

Fewer stops today as I decided to get most of the miles behind me to beat the rain.

Antwerp has quite an industrial feel to it, particularly around the outskirts and to the north heading towards the sea. Lots of shipping.

However, it’s all so organised and clean. Fascinating to see. What amazes me is how many bicycles there are. There are cycle lanes everywhere and everyone obeys the rules including stopping at red lights even when there’s no traffic!




Did I mention the cycle lanes are amazing?

The road behind me is a cycle lane
Cycle lane next to a motorway
Cycle lane next to a canal

Stats:

Total time including stops 7:43.
