Beers with Jono.
This is a top pick! ... . We had to leave before 8pm. Pity, as they close the rode every night and play the last post. We had one more night, in Belgium, then we jumped on a ferry and made our way back to England. We had been on the road for four months 2 days. It was quite ...
Down a big hole
This is a top pick! The drive to Hans-sur-Lesse was filled with woods, rivers, meadows, castles on ridges and other such delights. We caught none even half decently on camera though so just imagine it instead. We'd parked up overnight at the town and enjoyed listening to ...
Brussels and chocolates
We started the day by discovering the secrets of Belgian chocolates. We visited a local chocolatier and received an education briefing. Next we discovered Bruseels. We visited the Grand Palace and saw Manneken Pis, a symbol of Brussels. The ...
Spelunking in Wallonia
The first excursion as a part of the ISA group was to southern Belgium. We awoke at the crack of dawn (having had far too little sleep) and made our way to the tour bus waiting to drive us to Han-Sur-Lesse. It was a sleepy hour and a half ride, but upon ...
Dinant la merveilleuse
... our backdrop as we ventured south to the town of Dinant. I'd wanted to get a taste of la Wallonie, or French-speaking Belgium outside of Brussels, and so after a breakfast of bread and chocolate (a custom I'm strongly considering importing to Canada), we ...
8th of september part 3(finishes early the 9th)
In namur we realise that trains to not run all night long and it is about midnight so we decide to find a bar where we can stay until the Train station re-opens at 4. Now I don't know what it is about europe but everything, including bars, close early! ...
Kaartleesoefening
De tweede dag begon met een spectaculaire zonsopkomst. Gezien de periode van het seizoen was het nog berenkoud. Toch even naar buiten om een frisse neus te halen en genieten van de gezonde boerenlucht. Nadien een heerlijk ontbijt en dan ...
The Citadel
After leaving the cave and Han-sur-Lesse, we drove to the town of Dinant. It is situated on the banks of the Meuse river and is guarded by steep cliffs and a fortress on one side. When entering the town you must pass through two rock pillars, only just ...
Namur
... and this is taking ages! We have covered some ground since Lubeck, in fact two more countries! Now in Belgium in a place called Namur (largely chosen because the lonely planet entry for here said we could do things for free). And we have ...
Film à Bruxelles
Le temps était plutôt frais et pluvieux aujourd'hui et Yannic et moi décidons de "profiter" du mauvais temps pour aller voir un film à Bruxelles. C'est la première fois depuis mon dernier séjour que je retourne dans le centre touristique de la ...
Camping in Rochefort
May 2 We arrived in Jemelle train station, obviously there was no bus again and we definitely didn't know anything of the area. We simply lift our thumb at the first car passing by while we were at the bus stop at the train station and the car ...
Speleologie diep onder de grond
Op de tweede dag, als afsluiter en voor het verdere avondgekeuvel, werd ons medegedeeld dat we woensdag een dagje onder de grond zouden doorbrengen. Een tocht als speleologen. Dit was een uitdaging. Ik had het altijd al wel eens willen ...
Aankomst, briefing en bergje beklimmen
Om 10 uur waren we pas in de Gîte afgesproken. Het eerste wat we te horen kregen, naar de winkel in Dinant om inkopen te doen voor het eten. Dat was een taak waar we gedurende ons verblijf zelf voor moesten zorgen. We hadden al het ...
Thunderstorms and Trifle
Solo touring with your tent on the back is pretty sweet normally. Love the freedom, don't know who you're going to meet today or where you're going to sleep that night. But today I had one of the downers. It'd been raining all day (again) and then ...
Capitale de la région wallonne
Par une autre belle journée de printemps, nous sautons sur le train pour visiter Namur. C'est une ville de taille moyenne d'environ 100 000 habitants, située au confluent de la Meuse et de la Sambre. Elle est célèbre pour sa citadelle qui a connu de ...
Namur and Brussels
... the streets. I finally had my Belgian waffle with chocolate and strawberries, overlooking the Grande Place. I had some relaxing time too in Brussels and even managed to do all my laundry. Thanks to my nice friends in Belgium for their great hospitality. ...
Transfer day
... peu et de continuer le lendemain. ......Aucune chambre disponible...hmmmmmmm....OK, plan B.....j'ai pris le train directement pour Namur. Excellente idee! De toute facon, c'est assez poche pour les velos a Bruxelles, et assez ...
June 15: Namur
cute little town, hostel is on the river, great old citidel overlooking the whole ...
trips to the Ardennes
... of the alps, it was so pretty. The biggest problme with the Ardennes is that they're way too crowded. People from Belgium AND the netherlands go there - two totally overcrowded, flat countries where people are seeking some semblance of topography. ...
Mooie Wandeldag
Vanmorgen uit Namen weggewandeld. Het is erg mooi zonnig weer met een koude gure wind. Lekker om te wandelen. Niet te lang stil zitten. Ik heb nergens last van. De rugzak is goed te dragen en het lopen gaat me goed af. Als gezelschap had ik vandaag ...
Kaarsrecht
Vanaf de plek waar ik gekampeerd heb, boven Eghezée, voerde de route in een bijna kaarsrechte lijn richting Namen. Ik passeerde o.a. de plaatsen Longchamps, Daussouix en Frizet. Makkelijk lopen als je de route niet hoeft te zoeken. Je kunt het ...
Apr 02, 2013
Koud.
Deze dag ben ik weer opnieuw aangelopen. Harry heeft me naar Waremme gebracht en van daaruit ben ik weer op pad gegaan. De route voerde door een golvend landschap met erg weinig beschutting. Je kon kilometers ver weg kijken. Allemaal leuk als het ...
You camp in front of the creepy cave!!!!!!!
... in Jemelle that we could walk to. We had just walked right from there so we decided to do some renegade camping somewhere in Belgium. We walked along the path leading back to Jemelle and decided to walk off the path into the woods and found a flat place ...
Balen naar Compostela via Normandie

A Thunder Storm And Tiny Soaps
First things first: I slept horrible. Because of all the excitement raging through my body and brains, I just couldn't sleep. Well, not for long at least. So I slept about two to three hours before we took off. Luckily I manage well when I barely sleep; ...
Smash The Mountains!
... a snake, shining and magical? It does, absolutely. Still, something got me wondering. There are two types of food in Belgium, it seems: fries & Chinese. Alright, no problem, but why is every god damned Chinese restaurant called ''Mandarin''? I don't ...
Kayaking adventure
... with the intersections, can make for a harrowing ride just trying to keep up! So, kayaking down the Lesse river near Dinant, Belgium. The Lesse offers 21 km of wild beauty. The river runs like a snake through a region with medieval castles, a nature ...
Euro Adventure 06: Volume 5
Hi guys, hope all is well wherever you are! We are going awesome, currently in Namur, Belgium, but not really enjoying a lot of rain we've been having recently - but hopefully that will change soon! Anyway this is just a short note to say hi, let ...
Namur or Bust?
... see. We get rid of the bag and start walking. This was our first trip to Wallonia, the French speaking part of Belgium. It feels like France. It is a really cute little town with a nice old section filled with lots of cafes and ...
