Bikes on a Train

We bailed out of a 61 km cycle from Antwerp to Dendermonde today because the weather forecast called for rain, wind, and thunder. The last thing we wanted to do was to get caught on an exposed polder in a lightning storm.

So, instead, we enjoyed a day in damp Antwerp, and are now en route to Dendermonde via Mechelen (where we stayed two nights ago: we will do in 16 minutes on the train what it took us the better part of 8 hours yesterday!).

Lisa and Peter: twist and swerve.

(The good photos are taken by Lisa!) 

Postscript: on the train from Mechelen the heavens opened up with heavy rain and lightning. We made the right decision.
