Saturday 18th September 2011 Antwerp to Saint Nicholas (Sint-Niklaas) 51 km





Very enjoyable ride- sometimes we can't believe how fortunate we are to be able to this. When we left Antwerp the cycle route guided us to a large elevator which took us 40 meters below ground to a 700 m long tunnel for pedestrians and cyclists to get to the west bank of the Schilde River.


Great scenery today, and lots of variation. We saw six nude females today in various places along the way. Unfortunately they were all bronze statues. St. Nicholas is a very nice town - very clean and not overcrowded.

Tomorrow we ride to Gent. I had an acquaintance in Umtali many years ago by the name of Disraeli Gent, whose family I'm sure must have originally come from Gent. I wonder what ever happened to Dizzy.
