Wonderful old Vakwerk holiday house in Eckelrade. Our base for a few day whilst we sort Jos out with his room and see Andre Rieu on the Vrijthof. Cycling around Zuid Limburg is just glorious, withoutOkumaya devam et

Seeing this 72 year old entertain 110000 people for 3 hours with so much enthusiasm and drive is rather a special moment. The variation of music was quite vast. From classic to gospel to Scottish,Okumaya devam et

Lovely day riding via Vaals (highest point in Holland) and Aachen. Then onto the Venn Bahn to Monchau, 83km. 500m elevation with a 2% incline, rather easy to cope with. The Venn Bahn runs from AachenOkumaya devam et

We finished yesterday in Monschau, a rather quaint, old cobblestone town in Western Germany. Lots of half timbered houses and the red old merchant house from 1752.

Today was billed as a 'rest day' but we still did 33km with 500m of elevation. One of the 2 hills was a totally traffic free cycle route. Steep but no traffic, that's how I like them!

Following the Euro Velo 5 gave us some very nice cycle path to go on. Some were obviously old railways with plenty of information boards. They must have had their own Beeching's railway cuts but atOkumaya devam et

A bit of a wet ride today so had coffee break in a bus shelter. Sunday closing meant we didn't have lunch till we got to La Roche. Very touristy town. Chips and croquettes were very welcoming though.Okumaya devam et

Drizzly start turned out into a mixed weather day. One minute you're eating an ice cream the next you're sheltering for the rain. The Ardenne are far more beautiful then I remember from my youth.Okumaya devam et
