| Evening in the town square |
Today
has been a stay put, catch up day which we have really needed. It is really
warm, speaking with some locals today they said that Netherlands is not
normally as hot as this. Evidently it has been the longest hot and dry spell
for 300 years!
Windows
open, awning out, and it hasn’t been too bad with a slight breeze. Ian spent
quite a bit of the day sorting out his back “garage” and rearranging the bikes
to make them easier to get in and out. Planned on a ride but by the time he was
finished it was mid afternoon and a siesta seemed a better bet. I caught up on
some inside chores and getting organised with my blog etc.
It
was such a beautiful balmy evening we wandered down to the historic town square
in Geertuidenberg, about a km away, and joined many others sitting outside
under the trees and enjoying a cold one at the local café/bar. A really
peaceful setting with so few cars passing by, just people out cruising on the
bikes, enjoying the evening air. Ended up having a really good tapas platter,
cooking when we got home in the heat didn’t seem a particularly good idea!
Pulled
the map out and trying to decide what route we will take tomorrow to get to
Fischer’s in Elsdorf where we will overnight before our booking at 8am
Wednesday to have our satellite dish reconnected. Think we will head south into
Belgium then south west into Germany.. I think!
