Home - Journeys - Portugal - Lisbon, Spain, France 2019 - Tuesday, August 13, 2019
We slept well at
Hotel Mercure Rouen Centre Cathedrale in Rouen and we have breakfast.
The breakfast is good, and as usual we take something with us on the road.
At a quarter past nine we leave Rouen, we are going home today, to Apeldoorn.
In France it is quiet driving, with occasional showers.
There is little traffic.
In Belgium it starts to rain hard, work is being done on the road and it is very busy with a
lot of freight traffic.
That is not fun driving.
But when the rain stops we are also past the road works; it is then a bit quieter to drive
to Liège.
Work is being done on the road again; fortunately only a small piece.
In the Netherlands it gets pretty busy, but we are in Apeldoorn at four o'clock, almost two
hours earlier than we had expected.
We drive past the supermarket to buy some food, mussels, and at half past four we are home.
We are tired, we have driven 5540 km in total, of which 600 km today.
We get everything out of the car, that goes fairly quickly and the cleaning up is done in no
time.

We tell what we have done and experienced during a trip and we also tell what we think about it; no more and no less.
This is not a travel guide, nor is it advice to visit a place or not.
There are other sites for that.
Our opinion about places where we have eaten, drunk or slept is not intended as a (positive or negative) assessment,
there are other sites for that.
It is our view of the situation at a certain moment and that view is influenced by our mood,
the weather and many other factors.
