August 21, 2022,1ste fietstour tijdens de vakantie 😁🤟🏻

Today we started our holiday in the Limburg town of Thorn. From here we cycled the waters of De Grote Hegge, De Maas and Oude Maas this afternoon. The landscape of our southern neighbours, mainly the Belgian landscape, was certainly the most beautiful on this route. In the Netherlands we mainly cycled along a busy road. That was a pity.
