It dawned a beautiful morning at Ter Polders and the view from our bedroom window was of pastoral calm in brilliant sunshine.
Breakfast was excellent and we were soon on our way north cycling via Oostkerke towards the town of Sluis which is just over the border in the Netherlands. Really lovely countryside and serene canals all the way to Sluis.
We have never been here before and it was simply a target town a reasonable distance away. What a revelation. Sluis is delightful and very busy and buzzy on market day.
We spent about a hour there before heading back via a slightly different route to Ter Polders. The LLW was very pleased with her 17 mile ride.
Now there was legal work to be undertaken so Ray was summarily despached to cycle to Brugge whilst said legal documents were completed. The planned meet up arrangement was that the LLW would meet Ray near the boat terminal for the Brugge to Damme paddle steamer. However, inspired by the Tour de France riders Ray completed the ride in record time and a quick text to the LLW informed her that he would be back at Ter Polders in 20 minutes.
A quick shower and then we were on our way into Brugge for a walk around. We have visited Brugge many times and it is as lovely as ever but at this time of year it is heaving with tourists.
About an hour and a half was enough and then back to our hotel for dinner which featured very large entrecôte steaks.
A busy and energetic day but very enjoyable.
