What a Weekend!

First on Saturday we all went for a mega cycle. As always it was only meant to be a little one but somehow it was very long! We cycled down the canal on the cycle path then turned off down the country and stayed in Turnhout, or so we thought! Turns out we had cycled to the next town down, opps. At least the weather was nice even at 6.30pm.

Today, Sunday, we decided to go for a walk. Not too far mind we all had sore legs from yesterday. We all hopped into the car with our obligatory pick nick (for my hungry boys) and headed south. We ended up going to a lovely area near a village called Robertville. Yes it really was called that!

There is a dam and a very nice castle called the Reinhardstein. Around the castle there is a walk that is quite hilly, okay I lied it is very mountainous. Never mind our sore legs but we had a lovely walk around the valley under the castle. We also got to see the highest/longest waterfall in Belgium which is 60 mts.

We took so many pictures I will put them on our photo site. They are all lovely.

Drielandenpunt, Sunday is walking day!

The last week has been really quiet. That is except for Andrew being sick on Friday night. He seems to be feeling much better now. Poor little man.

Today we all went for a lovely walk in Drielandenpunt (three land point). It is the point where Belgium, Netherlands and Germany all meet. It is a wooded area with lots of walks and there is a Lybrinth that you get lost in! Today we just went wandeling (walking to us english speaking lot) around the trees.











Andrew was very excited about walking but was not so happy about getting his new walking boots dirty! As always the first thing the boys do is find big sticks to walk with so off they went in pursuit for the straightest branches they could find. With that accomplished we all set off enjoying the lovely scenary. Papa got bored following the set path so we diverted off up a hill through the trees with much moaning from Andrew that his legs and feet were sore.

About 20 mins later we all reached the starting point and Andrew went to play in the park while Papa bought us all some lekker frietjes (yummy chips). Charlie loved them. He then went to play with Andrew in the park and got really annoyed when he couldn't walk up the slide on the part you are supposed to slide down, silly billy!
