Started a known route, not feeling very elated. After the Beneluxtunnel I felt like going on instead of returning home as planned. I saw a tempting sign: Hoek van Holland.
It was in the middle of the night, raining, couldn't see a thing. Had to wear very old backup glasses because my new contacts didn't work. Directons were terrible or not there at all. Got lost many times.
I was feeling much better now.

Made it. Took a picture as proof I had really been there. Raining hard now. Actually I went a bit farther, wanted to go to the pier but could not find it in the dark. Fell down because front wheel got stuck between concrete plates. Ended up on the beach between deserted beachclubs.
It is a different world at night. Repair teams fixing obscure structures. Clam gatherers with tiny lights at the riverside. Frog choirs. Wonderful fragrances. Silence.
Not hungry.
