Just a fine sunny day to follow the cycle route to Maastricht.
Nothing of interest happened to me today until I got a plate of fries from a bar in the small town of Grotchem.
Entering the bar everyone stopped what they were doing and stared, it was an awkward moment and almost frightening. It was the same as you see in movies, the music would have stopped if there was any.
Sitting at a free table the bartender approached and asked what I wanted, I could see the conversations around me were about me judging by the glares and pointing. I simply ordered a small beer and some fries.
It came shortly later and I scoffed down the food as I was starving, today is a Sunday so pretty much everything is closed, this was the only place in the area open at the time I arrived.
When paying for the food and the beer I tried engaging myself into a conversation with a pretty girl at the bar. Im going to use the excuse that I was under a lot of pressure with the attentive eyes of everyone surrounding me but the attempted short conversation with her was an embarrassment.
I'm laughing as I write this because it seriously was just ridiculous even beginning the chat with an uncontrollable high pitched and loud "hello".
I essentially ran from the pub, hopped on my bike and cycled 10km to camp in an actual camping spot with my head down in shame. Haha. Too funny.
Having a nice day cycling around the grasslands of Holland
