that means, also with red light cyclists are allowed to go
Moni and Andreas woke up earlier just for me, Moni prepared a breakfast and offered many things for my trip, like fruits, muesli bars or bread.
After a last photo, I started my 3rd day of cycling back to Vienna, to Liege and the plan to go on a bit. Today the wind was less strong and sometimes behaved like West wind, blowing from the west!
First I came through empty streets in Brussels, because the were blocked for the Tour de France, but I was early enough to be allowed to go there by bike. Later, I came to other blocked streets because of a youth race and was surprised how many kids and teenagers participated. I was allowed to pass by on the shoulder of the street. In the morning I saw many cycling groups doing training and one couple on a bike tour with the next stop Brussels. In the afternoon, I was more alone, only more cars than in the morning were on the streets, but still you could feel the peace of a Sunday. In one village, a supermarket had been open, and I again bought chocolate. I try to eat other things, too, to “balance” my diet, but today chocolate might have been 50% of my intake.

After Liege, I had to climb a bit, but it was not long and not very hard. Tomorrow it will be double of the height meters for the same distance and I will not be much earlier on my wheels because breakfast in my hotel will start hat 8:00. But if I arrive at 18:00 at my next stop or a bit sooner or later makes no big difference. I plan to go to a camping place, because the cheapest options in or near Luxembourg (City) start around 80€ and this is a good occasion for camping, because Madeleine and I had agreed to sleep in hotels during our trip starting on Wednesday.
