I had a nice day walking around Rotterdam. The city was pretty much flattened during the Second World War but there is still plenty to see like some of the modern buildings, peaceful parks, ferry trips and the Euromast, a 185m tower in the centre. I went up the Euromast for an eagle’s eye view of the city. I also went to the zoo. I don’t care how old you are, zoos are always great fun.
The next morning I was off in the direction of Antwerp, Belgium. I thought my route would have to take me inland to cross some of the many rivers, but I managed to plan it so it used the handy bridges and tunnels that are all accessibly to cyclists.
I went wrong a few times but it didn’t matter, I knew it would be a shorter ride today. It rained quite a lot, heavy at times but as soon as I crossed into Belgium the sun came out.
When I reached Antwerp I took 
the pedestrian tunnel to the other side of the river where the campsite was. Setup my camp and walked into the city centre for evening where I tasted the Belgium beers and had some food. Italian of course as that’s what most of the restaurants in Antwerp seem to be. I do love a good lasagne.
