TDF Day 3 Arlon to Eupen: Hail and Hills

Memories of my third day on tour

• Start day with slightly fuzzy head .. glass too many of champagne maybe
• Belgium much hillier than expected
• Stop for lunch and phone Mrs M who finds a hotel for the night
• Showers turn violent and have to sit out a hail storm sheltering under a tree
• Yellow road incident: learn that Belgian roads don't allow for lorries and cycles to be on same road at same time. Detour needed.
• Route to hotel takes me to Eifel.. Mountains! In Belgium??
• Luckily road to hotel is downhill all the way and arrive very wet (mix of sweat and rain)
• Nonetheless folks very welcoming and have a nice meal to warm me up.
