And here's the link to the Relive video, although the 3D videos are only rudimentary and can't even be given a title yet. Unfortunately, Relive has started making big money 😕

A really nice ride with plenty of places to stop for a bite to eat 😃.
The shock came when we returned to our parking space in Thorn (Waterstraat). Our bike rack (locked) had been stolen.

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.
