We are finally in France (thank you Jesus) and out of the cold, damp countries of The Netherlands and Belgium. Not a very pleasant start to our trip, but I appear to be on the mend and not hacking up a lung anymore. Kirsty has got the bug now, but hopefully not as bad.
We cycled to Dinant, Belgium and stayed at a place by the river. Except for being cold and very, very damp, it was nice. The four young men who showed up about 11pm to set up camp and drink, talk, smoke dope and eat something only added to the cultural experience we were having. Oh, and no toilet paper.
We then cycled to Givet, France where we stayed at a place run by the Beverly Hillbillies. We were introduced to filthy toilets and once again, no toilet paper. As it was cold and damp still, we booked the next train to Verdun, France. Three train changes later we arrived and are going to stay here four days to rest up and decide where and what we are going to do next. The Meuse has not lived up to its up-and- coming status we had read about. So… who knows, stay tuned.
Below are more pictures from The Netherlands and Belgium.
Our one sunny day so far, just outside Maastricht.
Not sure this name would work in the USA.
The following pics are all in Dinant, until the sign for Givet.
More to follow my friends, peace!
