Weather

Perfect! Quite hot, around 28° centrigrade, but not at all muggy thanks to a fresh easterly breeze that gave us a nice tailwind all day.

Properties

Between Bruges and Oostende on a perfect, broad newly tarmaced bike path in it's own run. From Oostende to Nieuwpoort on the wide beach promenade. Some caution for pedestrians and fine sand, which forms small dunes on the promenade. Very easy to follow the bike route. That's much more difficult in France. A huge detour due to a closed bridge on the port of Dunkerque. Later another bridge was only negotiable via long stairs up and down, where we lost a lot of time, so we arrived very late to the ferry to Dover/England. There we had problems being let out through a gate in the fence around Dover port.

Remarks

The longest stage of the trip with the described difficulties. It was long dark, when we arrived at Dover, so all accomodating businesses were all shut, so we had to sleep on the beach.
