BELGIUM and the NETHERLANDS cycle - Day 2 Rotterdam, Ostende and Brugge

In May 2026, my wife had weirdly agreed to join me on a cycling trip. Her first ever and first time abroad cycling too. Today we arrive on the ferry into Rotterdam. First task: get through the new passport checks before navigating the train network to get to Ostende. Finally underway, we cycle the coast heading to Zeebrugge before enjoying a great evening in Brugge Bike.Hike.Train and very rarely plane- Outdoor Adventures in the UK and abroad. May also be found droning on a little Bluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/bruciestokes...
