The continuing story.........

G'day mates,

Continuing our bike ride in The Netherlands, more specific; in the province Brabant, we rode from Tilburg back to our hotel, passing an old Monastery ; “Koningshoeven Abbey”, of the Trappists (Order of the Cisterians of the Strict Observance) founded in 1881 in Berkel-Enschot.

Here our (hubby and I) favourite beer is brewed; “La Trappe” triple, and of course we stopped there for a drink.

Totally exhausted from the long bike ride and all the emotions and experiences we had along the way, we enjoyed our dinner at the Hotel wondering what it would be today.

As you can see I didn't lie in my previous episode that the portions are not too big....

Normally I'm, as well as Nicole, not really desert people but this time we ate some of it, being afraid to wake up in the middle of the night with rambling bellies...

But honestly, everything tasted really good!

Next day we decided, before leaving back home, to do a walk close by and again we passed the most beautiful/remarkable spots...

We saw this nice cafe in the middle of the bush and decided to have a drink, mind ya!! Me having Tea...

Well, of course I couldn't drink beer at only 11 o'clock and besides that, I still had to drive... 

It's called; Boscafé "De Rode Lelie" and it looked like they also had some special accommodation...

also for cats.....

and horses.....

After our walk and on our way back we had a stop and visited Nijmegen, just for some browsing and a drink overlooking the "Waal".....

We ended up in Zutphen of course and even at our favourite cafe from the past, we've been  here a lot in our younger years so it brought back memories.....

(as far as we could remember haha) 

They have nice food too!!

Last but not least here is the promised; "Mooiste ommetje van Gelderland" 

It starts in Wichmond at the "Ludgerusgebouw"

We ended this walk in our caravan and Nicole and Els spoiled us with a terrific fish platter!

It was outstanding! 

This was it again folks, I think I don't have more from Holland so my next story will be;

Kuala Lumpur!

Cheers
