Day 1 - Woe the wind

Dunkerque to Gent

Apparently it takes four times as much effort to cycle when you´ve got a headwind. Man, we felt that fact in our faces today. We were only doing 12 mph and it felt like 100! It wasn´t.

It was slow going, but we made it to Gent and the wondeful Myriam Dolders b&b (who donated some of the fee to Unicef). Pretty city, nice frites.
