Tournai Belgium

Every day we begin by putting a destination of between 3 and 4 hours and it always takes 6 or 7.
Today we started with the hood down in cloudy weather and after an hour we stopped and put it up as we approached heavy rain. . We drove through it and stopped at Givet France which is surrounded on three sides by Belgium. We had lunch and a look at the river Meuse and the Charlemont castle. Very pretty.
90 minutes later the next stop was for coffee and to book a place to stay, we were short on options and the weather was changeable so I said one more hour driving. That last hour was on a motorway with lots of cars but not many trucks and thankfully no rain.
This hotel is better than we usually choose. It has a restaurant and I noticed many tame rabbits walking about.

We could get to UK tomorrow but it would be a long day so we will drive close to Dunkirk and get a ferry late Sunday morning. The roads will be easier in UK on Sunday.Read more
