Brussels, Namur, Liege and into Achenn GERMANY!!!


























Close up of the Dom. Not Dom who tried to kill us with sweets in work...
A view of the Rhine looking up river. I will be cycling in the direction that the white boat is pointing, and it should take me to South Germany towards the Alps.
The bridge into Cologne which was completely destroyed by the Allies during the war. And the huge Dom in the background which they tried to avoid bombing because of how impressive it is. It took more than 600 years to complete... Like some computer games I've worked on...cough...
Just arrived at Cologne and well chuffed..!!! Got myself some Kolsch and 3 meddalions of pork which was bang on...
mello
West German backroads... sorted for cycling.
Turkish lad Eugene, helped me get out of crazy Achen..!
French lad Timore, good taste in music..!! Deep Purple and ACDC etc...
heh heh... Ausfahrt...
view tower at Three Stone Point.
at the Three Stone Point, where the borders of Belgium, Holland and Germany converge... It is the highest point in holland, at over 300m.
quality...
heh heh...Hombourg...
in middle of nowhere just before I got seriously lost in some woods,I saw this photoshoot... random madness..!!!
just before crossing the German border, knackered and glad of a good feed and pint.
more debris from the storms blocking the paths .
bullet holes... they must have taken some barrarges here...
the bunker
km after km of cyclepath is flooded, as the weather has been really stormy for three days solid, with strong winds, normally bloody head winds, lighting and heavy rain constantly. Trees have been blown over all over the place and a lot of roadside crashes aswell which doesnt bode well..!!!
the text at the bunker near Liege

this was Rich, an Autralian who was also cycling solo,but around Belgium and France. He has also cycled across the Nullabor Plains in Oz, which I might do next year if I make it thru this one...
