Morning all

Looking for a nice place to stop in Belgium near the German border.
Will be staying there for the next day so bit of sightseeing would also be handy.

Thanks.
 
Bastogne is nice, there at the moment, not in MH. Plenty to see about the battle of the bulge. There’s an aire in the town as well as a campsite, not sure if the site is open though.
 
Thieu Boat Lift

Free parking by the canal, lots of space, little town close by and lots of walking or cycling along the canals.

was on my list but been there in the car so thought about somewhere different.

Looks like we are heading that way now though😁😁
 
Don’t you need to do tests if staying in Belgium?
It's confusing as hell, if you download the Belgium COVID app and scan your COVID pass and select you've come from a high risk country then it says that your okay. I read loads of stuff and was confused, they seem to be interested in where you've in the previous 10 days, if EU country then no problems. I didn't fill in a passenger locator form as I'm here for less than 48 hrs and I didn't fulfill the criteria, as I read it, as I arrived by road and not train, air or sea.

I haven't had any problems, you have to wear a mask indoors, no check of COVID vaccination, only checked when I came through the tunnel on Thursday.

All confusing and a bit pointless but only took a few minutes to generate a code so better safe than sorry.
Wouldn’t want the Belgium police to haul Mrs CC off for being an illegal😂😂

Then again 🤔🤔

Where are you headed in Germany? Han Sur Lesse is a nice stop if you re going Moselle or lower and fill the tanks in Luxembourg

Off near Wurzburg to have the van sorted then hopefully chase some sun as it looks a bit wet around that area next week☹️☹️
Want to go through Switzerland so then either Italy or south of France, maybe Spain.
Never plan anything so just the night before plan😁😁

According to google adds about 50kms, nice place to visit and still open

 
I just can‘t be bothered with any more complications than the minimum. So we are just sticking to France next week. Can’t be bothered with saving a fiver, and going to Lux for fuel or anything like that.

Very impressive structure, not particularly close to Germany though.

Very quiet on the tunnel today, dogs got through no problems.
Got pulled over for gas check and most of the cars in front were directed to the inspection lanes!!

Good news is sausages and bacon slipped through customs😂😂
What did you use to get dogs across?

AHC ?
EU PP with UK rabies jab?
EU PP with EU rabies jab?
Irish PP?
 
How about Spa? Quite close to the German border and looks interesting?
We stayed at one by Spa, next to a manmade reservoir with cycle paths and a swing in the tress type playground and a tower restaurant, but struggling to find it on S4S or Camper Contact but now found it on CC Infos



The link hasnt worked, its at Jalhay

AHC from Pass 4 Pets in Langstone only 5 mins from me and £149 for 2 dogs vet was £165 per dog😬😬
She was very good sent all the info a week before and then 10 minute visit with dogs to collect forms.
Have them booked at a vet in Belgium next month for passports.
 
Have arrived.
About 10 vans here and a caravan!

Ernst straight through the tunnel never asked for thr forms I did or vaccination proof!!

And the weather looks good, have you got bikes? last time we were there we pedalled up the towpath by the old lifts, up to the canal junction, turned left and then I think left again and came down by the new lift (1-2 hours I think)

Pssst, you need a tandem;) then you can both wobble:LOL:

We did the boat trip around the canals one time when we were there, started from the big lift and came downstream to the aire then into the lock and up two of the old lifts, then after a tour of the pumping house a Choo Choo back to the new/big lift visitor centre and up into the lift room Cath the top.

Enjoy.

See a boat come out today loaded to the gunnels with people, may have a look as staying tomorrow and heading off Tuesday.

Cannot risk a tandem, don’t want her taking me down also😂😂

Heading to the factory if you need anything Martin?

Unless you drove through the tunnel did you not come on a train though technically that was to France then youndrove to Belgium.
