Antwerp

We are in Anrwerp. Been having a hard time finding reliable wifi. In Brussels, stayed in a great old hotel overlooking The Grand Place Square. The hotel had gold statuary. It was really neat. Michael and I were very tired from not getting much sleep so went to bed about 18:00 and slept for about 14 hours. We took off for Antwerp yesterday morning about 11:30. Our entire 50 mile journey was on bike routes. Some were simply a bike lane but most were a seperate sidewalk like path. A good portion ran along canals and were extremely peaceful and beautiful. When we stopped for lunch, we saw a car roll through a stop sign and a cyclist t bone the car. The emergency response folks were there almost immdiately. Maybe the unexpected highlight of the day was when we were riding the canals and the route ended at a ferry. Standing waiting for the ferry to come get us and watching the water flow by was a nice, peaceful rest from riding.
