Definitely cooler and dull today but we certainly can't complain after so much wonderful weather. The rugby team were being troublesome so the LLW had a lot to do to keep them in their boxes and Ray was sent off to cycle into Brugge.
There was a considerable SW wind and heading in that direction was difficult but by avoiding the canals and cycling through the countryside there was some shelter from the worst. Brugge is as lovely as ever but does get very busy now with visitors from all over the world. 23.5 miles were covered and after a light lunch with the LLW in Damme we both cycled 5.5 miles around the canals close to our hotel.
In the evening we drove into Brugge and after wandering around the city enjoyed an excellent Thai meal at a fairly new restaurant called Thai Zen

One of our readers has mentioned that the blog stopped rather abruptly and that is quite right! So I have returned to provide a fitting epilogue to what was one of our best holidays for a while.
We have thoroughly enjoyed every day of the visit to the Netherlands and Belgium; the weather has been well nigh perfect, the cycling brilliant and the flowers magnificent.
We left our hotel early on the Wednesday morning and had an easy drive to Calais where we were waived through to board an earlier shuttle than the one booked.
I will leave you with a few more photos of a great holiday and the LLW is already talking about an annual pilgrimage to the bulb fields. Bye for now!
