Next stop today was the city of Dinant which I had decided to be the goal of my trip until I changed my mind. The commune of Dinant has today aprox. 13.000 residents, and is situated 25 kilometres south of the city of Namur and approx. 65 km south of Brussels. The city turned out to be a little gem it an old little city cozied up against the Meuse River. If you can talk about a skyline in such a little city - its skyline is dominated by its two main buildings: the Citadel, which overlooks t...

Day 18: Beatrix - Dinant 83 kms   During this day we cycled from Beatrix to Dinant, both cities in Belgium. We were still in the Ardennes, so there were still hills to climb. Just like the day after Cluny we cycled on an old railroad. At a certain moment we were a bit lost and luckily an old and grey Belgian man in an enormous red Jaguar driving by that moment. He saw that we were lost and asked if we could use his help. It was a strange guy and he looked like a guy who wanted to m...

Dinant Belgium and Boat ride.

 I have had a fairly quiet month so there was not much to tell. Spring is finally here and it is great to see the change of season.

We waren niet al te ver meer van de belgische grens verwijderd en al gauw waren we dus weer terug in Belgenland op weg naar Dinant. Hier wilden we de nacht doorbrengen, en we konden al terecht bij het eerste het beste hotel. Gauw brachten we onze spullen naar boven en daarna ging het weer naar beneden. Aan de overkant van de Maas, die hier nog Meuse heet, was hoog op de berg een citadel waar een kabelbaantje naar toe ging. Natuurlijk gingen we ook naar boven. Het viel helaas een beetje tegen,...

This all started when I decided to go for the beer truck festival in Romedenne. Since I was heading off to Wallonia, I decided to see as many places as possible. So after a bit of googling I came up with the Falaen, Soulme, Crupet and Celles. These villages are amongst the most beautiful villages in Wallonia. Trains from Leuven run only till Dinant. After that it is biking, driving, walking or hitchhiking to your destination. I decided to bike and took my cycle along. My plans were to cover F...

In 1994 my father and I wanted to make a cycling trip to Lourdes. We were followed by a mini-van with all our luggage driven by a family friend. I'm really sorry I don't have any pic for this moment, hope to fix something later!
