Rain, rain, rain. Before that, a nice downhill part through vineyards. Arrived in Schengen and basically decided to take emergency shelter in a hotel in Manderen. Very short ride.

Obviously it’s not specifically about the regions themselves, but rather a combination of timing and mood. Would be happy to visit each area again.
