Had a reasonable
night's sleep on the ferry, so it was down to the restaurant for the
'all you can eat' breakfast. I saw an amusing incident – an woman
in her 60s picked up a teacup and saucer, placed a teabag in it, then
went to the drink dispenser that has pictures of fruit on it, and
pressed the button marked 'Orange'. When orange juice and not the hot
water she had expected was dispensed into her cup, she turned to her
husband and proceeded to blame him for 'letting her do it'!
Suitably fed, we waited
for the call down to the car deck to untie the bikes and ride out
into Zeebrugge. We stopped at a nearby petrol station so the ones
that were a bit late at Hull and didn't have time could fill up and
headed towards our next destination – Liรจge.
I'd set my Sat Nav to
'no highways', so we would avoid the motorways and see a bit more of
Belgium from the back roads. There were a number of deviations due to
roadworks and traffic holdups, so we went on some very back roads!
However, we realised a
group of six bikes is really too much to keep together in traffic, so
we split up and travelled by different routes. Stuart and Terry D
made a detour to visit the battlefield at Waterloo, and spent a
couple hours at the centre there.
We all eventually met
up at the hotel we'd booked. This was right in the City
Centre, so had plenty of places to see, and to eat and drink nearby.
We had a good look round what is a very attractive city, and I'll
take some photos tomorrow. No photos today as I'd left my camera
switched on since yesterday and the battery was flat!
Today had started out a bit misty and overcast, but as the day went on it got brighter and hotter! Song of the day:
