Day to the chiropodist?

Into a cafe for breakfast and bought a sandwich for lunch.  Walked through the outskirts of Bergen op Zoom, finally reaching the countryside.  Weird how a relatively small barrier, canal on the way in, railway on way out, can have completely different classes of housing on either side.  Lots of walking through the woods.  The sandwich was money well spent and a big improvement on my basic ham and cheese.  It had chicken, bacon, salad, mayonnaise; excellent.  Finally crossed into Belgium, no sign, nothing.  Surprised at the number of large houses in this area.  Found a B&B and then off to a local restaurant for dinner.  Left little toe started off fine, and I thought my strapping had fixed it, unfortunately it got worse as the day went on.  All the others were fine.  I finished the day in Heikant, at a fairly grim B&B.  I discovered, when I woke during the night covered in sweat, that there was a rubber mat between the sheet and the mattress.
