Day 29 - postscript

I have woken up briefly, to report that travel and accommodation in Belgium continues to frustrate us. After days of straight roads, cycle ways and canals, we find that there is not direct-ish route west towards Ghent. Instead, we are going to have to take a meandering route that goes north then back again south. This would be fine if we knew that we were going to be enjoying glorious scenery and pleasant walking but, unfortunately, we know that it will be compromises made up of cycle ways and roads. The temptation to jump on a train has never been greater.


Nonetheless, we both want to complete the journey on foot, so will stick at it, at least for the time being, accepting that for now, the pleasure of travelling is being replaced by the pleasure of arriving.

Hello Doris and Gary,

Meant to mention some blogs ago...Sam and I were out when I got one of those 'how did that song go? moments' it drove me to look it up on utube. The song was Lulu's boom bang a bang. Not an obvious one but one which was your song of the day around the same time. Spooky??
Love

Phil
