Up early and another breakfast of cornflakes, bread, bacon and eggs. We leave in a good mood and drive out of Cambridge on the bid road and a ring road, before driving past many small villages. Fulbourn, then Brinkley where we stopped for groceries, we have the wind in our backs the whole way. We… Continue reading to Alpheton

A swim, a visit to Cambridge and a giant ice cream
We sleep long, because it's a rest day. We get up at eight thirty, have corn flakes, bread, egg, sausage and bacon and then went swimming in the public pool. We could swim as long as we like, but we wanted to see the city. We vist a few colleges, that takes a long time… Continue reading A swim, a visit to Cambridge and a giant ice cream
to Cambridge
I fell asleep yesterday while solving cross word puzzles with my dad. We get up early again, have a quick but tasty breakfast and jump on the bikes. We ride on a red road (note from 2021, this refers to the red color of the road on the map, indicating that it's a national road).… Continue reading to Cambridge

to Sizewell
Please note that this text was written by me and my mom in 2021, based on the journal written by my sister, who was then 9 years old. We don't sleep well, but then you never do the first night. The tourist office is open, but they don't have a good map so they send… Continue reading to Sizewell
Public transport to Felixtowe
Up at six thirty, then a quick breakfast before the short trip to the Herentals railway station. Our neighbour is kind enough to drop us off, the bikes and bike luggage on an open trailer. We have to switch trains twice (once we only had 17 minutes to transfer) but everything goes smoothly. In Zeebrugge… Continue reading Public transport to Felixtowe
