Quoted message said:Brugge is a delight to wander through in a state of alcoholic blur. Lots of good bars, selling
great beer, narrow alleyways leading into squares, superb architecture,chocolate, waffles,
seafood...I hear ya. Always had a dream to cycle London > Holland > Belgium > France

I'd happily bus/train/skip all the english, and most of the french bits, for more time
tulip-side.London>Harwich>Hook of Holland>Brugge>Calais>Dover>London looks like
quite an interesting route. Or you could take the train back in Brugge and avoid the French bit.
Doesn't look too far, either. Take a week or two with plenty of waffle/beer breaks.
I wonder why everyone thinks waffles are a Belgian thing? You have a Brusselse (Brussel/Bruxelles)
Wafel, Luikse (Luik/Liege) wafel, and maybe some more. But it's a city-thing, not a country-thing.
I (together with about 80% of other Belgians) rarely, if ever, eat a waffle of any kind. Fries
(frieten/fritten) on the other hand...
Anyway, If you want to go cycling the province of Limburg is another good bet. Limburg (province in
Belgium & Netherlands), as the greenest province of Flanders, has an extensive cycling-network. The
Belgian & Dutch cycling-networks of Limburg are also interconnected.
No hills though.. unless you count peoples' driveways.
