Day 12 -- Ghent to Bruges

Distance: 30 miles
Hills: none, but a brutal, driving headwind and occasional rain

This was our final day of biking. And, although we have had extraordinarily good weather throughout our bike trip, all good things must end. And the good weather ended before the trip ended.  We were traveling west, in the face of a very strong headwind and rain part of the way.  
 
Passed a windmill on the way out of Ghent. This one is different because it's inhabited. The one yesterday was intended only for grain storage. This one has no storage space and is currently a private home. 

Here's a castle we passed by, also inhabited by a private family. 

Then we had a very nice lunch at a country inn and came back to the barge for our final dinner and a walking tour of Bruges.  Saw an interesting sign just outside town that was totally appropriate to the way I feel at the end of our thirteen day bike ride. (Sorry for the language, but I just couldn't resist.)
