What a charming hotel!!!!! What an atmosphere!!!!!! What a magnificent bed!!!!!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And what a marvellous day is waiting for us!!!!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today we will go north towards Dinant, crossing immense forests and agricultural landscapes and passing by rivers and characteristic Walloon villages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After checking our car, kissing our partner and thinking how beautiful life is and how lucky we are, we follow the signs towards Bouillon (initially N83 and then N89). Yes, I know, we have already been there but this is the fastest way to arrive to Beauraing, our first stop. The road is incredibly straight, there is not even a slight turn for many many kilometres, so you ‘ll have the opportunity to admire the landscape and the enormous trees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
About a km before Menuchenet, we leave N89 and we catch the N95 or Rue de Dinant. Green colour is omnipresent, alternating with meadows where brown coloured cows are grazing. I don\u00b4t know why, but I think that Belgian cows are more beautiful than others. They have more peculiar colours (maybe the breed) and they look cleaner (I imagine that the climate is not the best for the usual flies that surround the bovids). Have in mind that the cows in Belgium seem to be free, but they are not. The majority of fields has a just visible fence, but it is electric and provokes a light shock if you touch it. So if you wanna cut a mushroom and enter the field, beware of the fence, it is more dangerous than the usually peaceful cows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Staring at cows and forests we arrive at Bi\u00e8vre, where we can drink a cup of coffee or eat a snack, if we want. There is a friterie about a kilometre before Bi\u00e8vre. Have I told you about friteries?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u039d\u039f\u039f\u039f\u039f? Fritteries are the Belgian fast foods, supposed to be specialized in fried potatoes and generally fried things. Belgians insist that the best fried potatoes are made by them, so they refuse to call them French fries but just “frites”. You can find them everywhere even if you are blind, their characteristic smell will guide you to them. I understand that you have high expectations tasting the potatoes with some 10 sauces available in each shop, but personally I found them as all the other fried potatoes I have eaten in my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
