6th August - I'm on a train, I can't complain.

This Monday I finally decided to leave this boring, crossed by corn fields, routes and get myself on a train from Apeldoorn to Breda, the closest city in Netherlands next to Antwerp.

I couldn't get any real advice from anyone regarding my trailer on the train. So after some back and forth I finally overcame my doubts, bought a ticket and hoped for the best with just a single litre of water.
I spend my time with an older couple, that cycles the Netherlands' border in 1 week stages during their vacations, keeping an eye on our bikes for the next 2 hours w/o water.

In Breda I quickly restocked my water supplies and went for:



I left Breda through a very sandy forest road which, for the next 5km, forced me to dismount several times. *angry-face*

Look at this very cool windmill - wohoo!
After I sweated tears and blood I arrived at 9pm at the very sweet spotted alternative camp site and bar "Kamping Kontiki" in the middle of the Antwerp harbour.

I met 3 germans cyclists. They were camping here on their way back home and while having a very nice chat I missed my chance to use the only shower for several hours. At the bar they were playing The Doors and I had a very good time.

Cheers!
