Thanks for the nice comments. It was a lovely trip indeed. Would be happy to do it again anytime.
Zonatandem : Yes I'm flemish (and happy Belgian too:thumb:-stupid politics) indeed. Nice to hear you are flemish too! I was born in Antwerp, but spend a lot of my youth in Knokke-Heist (biked many times to Brugge:beer:) and my parents still live there. Katy, my sweet wife is American. We both love living in Geneva, Switzerland though. Cycling is great around here.
Wow, what a great trip report! Thanks for sharing too! :thumb:
Btw, what does your screen name mean? I was in Dubai last month and shopped at a Carrefour. It was the largest and most impressive supermarket I've ever seen.

Knubby, believe it or not, but my "carrefour" refers indeed to the french based supermarket stores. When I signed up to bikeforums that was the first thing that came up to my mind and my wife and I had a good laugh about it. Maybe stupid, but that is the truth.:lol: Apart from that it translates to English as "crossroads" so it may make sense after all. And if you had a great shopping experience there in Dubai then that is even better.
