is to try and find a scenic way around the dreadfully busy city of Venlo. We managed to succeed with having to cycle beside only one busy highway (on a designated fietspad of course, but it was still noisy).

We came across the ‘Brightlights’ Campus of the University of Maastricht. It must have been a holiday because we didn’t see a soul around? It has a beautiful green space all around it!

Anyway, skirting Venlo made our day quite long, but it still was a very enjoyable ride.

A Dutch waterfall…

Flower of the day…

The Castle in Kessel…

After a stop for veggies at a veggie stand…and the grocery store for some Kip wings…we are set for our little ‘garden cottage’ near Roggel.
