Hello,

Entrance to Park

It has been an interesting trip so far. I can not post any pictures. I do not know what is wrong but I will work on it. I started out in Montgomery with TSA wanting to unpack every thing in my bike box. That was difficult time number one. They had a hard time putting it all back in the bike box. I was concerned that when I arrived I would not have every thing or it would be bent. The plane arrived in Brussels 45 minutes early. my ground transportation arrived 20 minutes early so I only waited 25 minutes, not bad. The Hotel Berten Natuur is a farm house bed and breakfast. It is very nice. When I got here I could not open the box, TSA had screwd my lock. The farmer had some bolt cutters. I got the bike back together okay. I rode about 30 KM in the near by area today. Some of it was on cobble stone road, shakes the bicycle and the rider (not to mention the beer). I took a number of pictures. That are here in no order with captions. I had initial problems with the internet and have just gotten on. Then there was the picture download problems. There were no problem with the beer. I had some good old stand-by really good Belgium beers; Westmalle and Duvel. Hopefully there will be pictures tomorrow.

Pax,

Bob
