The Hotel Bonn City didn't look very good from the outside but our room was bright, airy and clean, with our own air conditioning unit, makes a change... The breakfast room was very nice as was the breakfast. There was nowhere to sit, relax and have a drink but on the whole a great place to stay.
As we are staying in the Hilton hotel, Antwerp tonight, for our last night on the continent, today's journey was all about getting from A to B. We left Bonn in heavy rain which eased quite quickly, rode through various levels of rain throughout the journey. We travelled 150 miles arriving in the dry after having a lunch stop and spending over 3 hours in the saddle due to poor traffic conditions. Never mind, we are here now 😊. We had a couple of cold beers before unpacking.
We decided to visit Hard Rock for a drink and eveing meal which was only 80 yds from out hotel (how convenient was that 😋). We were here in early 2019 working on an EU project, this is our 1st visit since COVID. Nothing much has changed. It was raining when we left the hotel to go to Hard Rock and, while we were there the weather turned bad and it poured down with rain and remained like that all evening.
Thankfully we only had a short walk back to the hotel. We had a lovely evening meal sharing a trio BBQ, pulled pork, 1/2 chicken and 1/2 rack of ribs with coleslaw and beans:
This is our last stop befor going home to England:
...off to Eurotunnel tomorrow and statying in Folkestone before returning home, hopefully in the dry !!!
