What could be better?

A glorious day, biking leisurely up the Meuse valley, in the sun.

We stopped at a roadside strawberry stand, for a treat.

We continues, past the Chateau de Dave, where we took a photo of Dave.

Now we are sitting at a sidewalk cafe in Profondeville, eating fresh pastries and drinking strong coffee.

What's wrong with this picture? Not a thing.

Two hours later.

We biked up the steep hill at Annevoie, to the (rightly) famous gardens, and spent a long time eating lunch, wandering the paths, and appreciating the incredibly well-groomed landscape, bubbling fountains and picturebook scenes.

It's a very warm day, but this has been a delightful break. Still a bunch of kilometers to Dinant, where the boat, a shower, and tea will be waiting.
