Day 1 - Limburg - Thorn to Stevensweert.
Our friends Wim and Linda drove us and the bikes to Thorn, sometimes called the "white village" because most of its houses are white. Here we are in front of the place where we treated our friends to lunch:
From Thorn we cycled along the Maas river and its many branches, pools, and canals. The Maas is a major commercial waterway and so has been "regulated" with lots of dikes, sluice gates, etc, but is still a beautiful area.
After about 25km of riding, we reached the rather sleepy village of Stevensweert. We stayed at a bed and breakfast that was also part of the "Vrienden op de Fiets" network for bike travelers. The place was a little funky but quite nice with a luxurious bathtub. We went into the center of town looking for the lively cafe scene found in many town centers, but this town was too sleepy for that. But we had a fine dinner at a little "eetcafe" (cafe that serves food):
