Journey: Dinant – Euro Space Centre – Bouillon (49 miles)
Ernest was well up for a lazy Sunday and was the last out of bed. Having done no exercise other than walking I’d been itching to do some acro and put a call out on Acro Belgium for a possible practice buddy. I was thus thrilled to meet Emilio for acro and coffee and despite the rain we found the perfect spot. I know people think I’m crazy when I do random things like this, but it was such a lovely start to my day and I love meeting new people. Thanks so much Emilio 😃🤸
Mark thought it would be good exercise to climb the 408 steps to the citidel rather than take the cable car… In fairness it wasn’t that bad and our legs had a good workout… If I can’t walk tomorrow I will blame that. The view from the top was still great despite the weather and we learnt some harrowing history, I practiced my handstands and played in the park. Dinant was also home to the creater of the saxophone so their are lots of sax about and a great sculpture of him.
Following a tip from a friend we have been checking the paper map as well as using Google Maps and spotted the Euro Space Centre…what a find! We had so much fun at this hugely interactive centre – did space walks, planetarium, raced each other on space bikes using VR, lift off simulator and lots of great space facts. Highly recommend 🚀🌌 They also had a planet garden for the dogs to walk around the solar system and another wild walk where Mabel picked up a scent and was totally in her element, so we let her lead (the boys were oblivious to whatever she had smelt).
Tonight we are staying in Bouillon with views of the castle and another forest walk awaits the dogs tomorrow. I’m vainly trying to keep up appearances so have had a pamper while Mark plans tomorrow 😊
