Smooth sailing, smooth cycling

If a picture is worth a 1000 words, then here's an essay. We boarded the Fluvius and have a great room. Food is three squares a day, they provide food for a bagged lunch.  First day was 57km. 2nd Day 38 and today 38km. The rural areas of Belgium are amazing. Today we sailed into the Netherlands. I hope you enjoy the pictures :-)




Our test ride. Fortunately they ride on the same side as we do.

The corn, which is everywhere, is very tall.

Strawberry vending machines at a strawberry farm. Delicious.

Wooly cows. Moo!

A street in Antwerp

Countryside early morning.

Greenhouse. All the plants are in their own little pot.

Belgian hops.

A corn harvester. Narrow road.

Ferry crossing.

We were excited to see the Fluvius pass locks. Perfect timing.

A walk in town.



A 10 story museum.

The city actually owns the tower of this cathedral. They use it as a lookout.

Early morning sail.


Decalcium calcium duct - Y E S!

Canadian War Cemetery.


The Dutch used to flood the low area to defend it. 

I was talking to one of the tour guides and asked if the Dutch still make "Rinse Apple Stroop." Halfway today's ride she says, "I have a gift for you!" She gives me a small jar of it!  I'll see if I can find a couple of jars to bring home.

Transitions

3 Days of Transition Day 1 Cebolla drove us from Lake Gardens near Nuevo Arenal to (Ay-Chihuahua!) San Jose. As we approached San Ramon just north of San Jose, you could feel Cebolla's tension increase 4 fold as the traffic became bumper to bumper, all the way into San Jose. At one point Cebolla asks, gesturing with his right arm, "This is right, si?" Yes, curious question but hey, like the rest of us learning a foreign language, vocabulary needs a review. A few kilometers later Cebolla looks at me and says, "Give me directions to your hotel." Oh crap! Fortunately, Myra had it loaded on Google Maps so she handed me her phone, I was sitting up front. It was totally weird because it looked like we had to do a U-turn. Great -  stupid app! And as we got closer traffic was ground to a halt - major construction on the main arterial. A little further up it did indeed do a turn-loopy- kind of thing?? We had lots of time to decide on a strategy as traffic was veeerrrryyy...

And along the way...

 We've turned into bird watchers: And a couple of "La Cucarachas" When we rented our car, the rental agency noticed that my driver's license expires at the end of the month. Normally that is not a big deal because everything is online, but it was also time to renew my photo, which must be done in person. Unfortunately the 1-800 number doesn't work here, but fortunately our phone plan here allowed a direct 306 call and I was able to get a 90-day extension.  Whew! Nothing like driving around with an expired license in a foreign country. At one point I thought of using this one from the Alien Restaurant here in town: We've been looking at real estate here - as part of the whole holiday plan.  There are lots of properties for sale.  People from our travels elsewhere keep telling us: It's easy to buy, but difficult to sell. I think it's good we are down here for a while just to see if it's something we can imagine ourselves doing. So far the answer is, ...

Tropical activities.

Our dinner out at Moya's Place with Rob and Dawn after going to the falls has a little more story. Their friend Andre was there too.  He knows Lane - a guy we met at a House Dinner a while back. Turns out Andre is also imbibing in the traditional medicines in the area. Hmm. Maybe this is how city troubles finds its way to smaller towns?  We stay late enough to catch some entertainment. A couple of excellent guitar players. One of my new favorite tunes is "Me Gustas Tu." Here's the YouTube link of the original:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rs6Y4kZ8qtw Capo on 2nd fret: Am, G, Dm, Dm. Reggae strum pattern.  Fun stuff to play along with: "Mi corazon, mi corazon!" Tuesday we drove out to the Butterfly Conservatory, largest in C.R. Excellent roads, and I mean in comparison to the Falls road Excellent all the way. Ample parking. Knowledgeable staff, beautiful displays and live environments: Blue wave Butterfly Malachite Butterfly Clear wing Butterfly Doris Lon...
