Sunday 11th September 2011 Valkenburg to Hasselt Belgium 54 km


Very pleasant ride to Hasselt, which is lovely. When we rode through Maastricht, the centre of town was closed to cars because there was a memorial service to comemmorate the tenth anniversary of 9/11.

In Hasselt we were lucky enough to discover that the central cathedral and belltower was open to the public because of the 9/11 anniversary, so we climbed all the way to the top of the belltower. The bells were being rung as we were standing right next to them. I was surprised to see that most of the belltower and the steeple was constructed in solid oak, not bricks.
