Quote:Go try Belgium Curly. Proper puddled there......bursting out in to Holland is like waking from a nightmare in to an oasis of calm....Â
Well, I've cycled a fair bit in Belgium over the years, but frankly found it a bit boring. This was in the days when I was an amateur alcoholic and the highlights of the trips were drinking far too many beers !
But I've never been to Holland, so that might be a suggestion for a wee trip next year ?
Was considering a run through Spain to go to Africa this year but the Plague put a stop to that ! Was also considering a run through Switzerland but the fact that the buggers love money kind of put me off. A while ago, a pal of mine kind of accidentally strayed near the Swiss border and as a call of nature was becoming rather pressing he decided to just nip in and use the facilities as soon as possible and the turn round. He got clobbered for insurance, road tax and something else and to add insult to injury had to pay to use the toilet. "Dearest shite I've ever had in my life !" he said." I've had loose women for a whole night that cost me less" Â

I've no idea what he meant by that last remark.....
