Belgium Introduction; Part A

The house above was one of the first that Cyane saw in Belgium.
It illustrates the fascination for clipped hedges and sculptures, widespread use of block, and the curious closedness of Belgian houses seen from the outside.
In fact, see below for the clipped hedges gone wild!

The bike path was empty after entering into Belgium.
I wondered where everyone was, and then realized it was midday.
There are lots of cafes everywhere and they definitely get used!
Another difference entering into Belgium was the sudden appearance of flashy race bikes.
