| The library------I was ready to head toward Thorn in the Netherlands. My few hours of cycling in Belgium had been a very good experience. If I was not heading north now toward Oosterhout in Brabant, Netherlands to visit my cousin, I would have cycled across the whole north part of Belgium towards Antwerpen and the very south of Zeeland but since my 90 days will soon be up. I want to make sure that I go north first to visit my cousin Hans. Anyway, I need to save some good bicycling for when I return in other years, Lord-willing. |
