Onwards and eastwards

Cycling from Brugge to Maastricht was a breeze, literally, a nice strong hot tail wind blowing us across the flat plains, giving us a false sense of confidence in our abilities!
We lost count of the border crossings as the border between Belgium and Netherlands is somewhat fluid and undefinable.
The roads in both countries are perfectly designed for cycling, every road caters for cyclists (and cars give way to cyclists!) but the most impressive thing was crossing under the river into Antwerp where we had to use a special lift for cyclists, then cycle under the river to the other side.
The campground just outside Maastricht where we are staying is more like a little community, well kept little chalets amidst the forest setting, and I woke up to red squirrels chasing each other through the tall trees.
It feels like mid summer already, we have had unbelieveably nice weather all the way from London.
We now have an electric light bulb for our tent - let there be light!
