Meuse River Cruise, Dinant

This afternoon we took a cruise on the Meuse River and despite the cooler weather it was fabulous. I love the old homes mixed with the new along the river banks, the ancient churches, the lush landscape of green hills on both sides, this picturesque part of the world. It was so enjoyable cruising up and back while enjoying a local wine, beer and cheese sat on the top deck. It was a fabulous way to spend the afternoon, getting to see Dinant from a different angle.

Once the ride was over and as the dark clouds rolled in yet again, we decided on Italian for lunch. Yes odd we are having Italian in Belgium but there are quite a few Italian restaurants here so we thought why not. Our pizzas were delicious, our drinks cold and our view amazing. The perfect way to end our day out in Dinant as the weather turned again.

Dinant is such a beautiful town with a sad history and I am so glad we detoured to included it on our trip.Read more
