Relaxing in Belgium

 We cycled to Mol back on 24 May, and have done quite a lot of cycling since, based at a friends lovely apartment in the town.  It has been refreshing for Sharon and I to have friends close to us for the last week.  Sometimes, though we are together, it can get a bit lonely on the road, cycling to a new destination each day.

Though Parish walk is now firmly in our minds, we haven't done a lot of walking.  We did participate in a 50km event which started and finished in Geel, about 15km from where we are staying.  This was completed with our friends at a conversational pace, much of the time in rain and more often even than that wading through thick mud and slush.

Unfortunately, that wet and muddy walk exacerbated some of the issues with Sharon's toes.  Blisters from the continental centurion walk became hot and red and sore, and with careful treatment since she is just now getting these back to a place where they are comfortable.  We will probably walk today to see how she fares.

Today, 30 May, is the two year anniversary of our cycle journey around the world.  We have completed just short of 40,000km in that time.  A special time for us, but hopefully also only the first fifth of what we hope to do.  10 years is a long time, but we're going OK.
