Monday 23rd May

It was very wet during the night and for most of the day. We had some difficulty finding our way out of Cologne but made it eventually. We crossed from Germany into Netherlands but were soon over the border into Belgium where we stopped for the night next to this canal in the small town of Rekem.

We took a walk around Rekem - there are some really nice modern houses.

There are also some nice wild places very close to the town.

Next to the canal in the town there is this fine row of copper beeches.

There is also a small boat dock. Very nice little place.

We traveled 97 miles (156 kilometres) today.
