Last days...

You think it's hard to keep up with our travels? So do we!

After Edam we stayed a night in Delft and cruised around on our bikes. Then another night spent on the coast of The Hague, Netherlands. It was the last warm day we had and we spent it lying on the beach and daring each other to go for dips in the freezing cold Atlantic Ocean. After the Netherlands we headed to Belgium for a week. The weather, as usual, wasn't amazing but in between the thunderstorms and huge down pours a few patches of sunshine and blue sky came out. We lay low in Antwerp for 5 days visiting beautiful Ghent one day and spent the rest, organising the van, building up our beer stamina and chilling in Antwerp. Then off to Brussels for our last hurrah with all our mates at the Belgium Beer Festival. It rained on and off the whole weekend but we pushed through. It was so fun to see friends, familiar faces and English speaking people! Early Sunday morning we drove to the Dunkirk ferry and headed back into London where we unpacked The Van and sold it! Within 4 hours! and attempted to sleep for a few hours before flying off to Marrakesh...We drove 17541kms!!

The end was always a few months away, a few weeks, a few days and now it's OVER! We really had the most incredible time of our lives and so grateful that everything worked out and we are back in London in one piece. Yay! Thanks for sharing our adventure with us!

The world heritage windmills of Kinderdijk in the Netherlands. There are about 18 of them in one area. The day we were there they were all in action. They only turn them on a few days a year so it was pretty special to see!
