Acht van Chaam

Camping tonight just outside Chaam, a couple of miles from the border with Belgium. It is between and below Breda and Tilburg. Came across this statue as I passed through Chaam - lists all the winners of a race I think is called Acht van Chaam. Lists of well known names - Chris Froome won it in 2017. A good easy day again today - just over 50 miles and nice weather, not too hot or windy. Last night in the tent tonight - staying in an Ibis in central Brussels tomorrow as I have a 9 am train to catch on Sunday

Brussels

Arrived in Brussels around 5, having come into the city via the canal and docks - 60 miles from the campsite. Not too scenic but it avoided any traffic. The town centre though was mobbed. There was also some sort of festival on with a procession of folk dressed up - all setting off from the main square. Had to walk the bike through it. Went straight to Midi station to see if they would take my bike before tomorrow. They would - so that's my bike away. The Ibis I'm staying in is just across the road from the station. Perfect - standard Ibis decor and clean. The area around the station is anything but - certainly not Brussels at its finest. Well that the bike ride over - really enjoyed it and it did exceed my expectations. Certainly didn't expect the variety of landscapes and the weather was great although too hot at times. Tomorrow I'm on the 9am Eurostar arriving London at 10. Then on a train from Kings Cross at 12. All being well I should be home by 7pm.
