Sorry no pictures for Tuesday
Tuesday was a nice quiet day. The early morning was spent relaxing. Before lunch Josh, Koen and Frank helped Koen's landlord unload 3 pallets of brick. Frank was introduced to "Stroopwaffles". It appears that we will be spending a lot of time at Ballinger's when we get back. The evening was spent watching Belgium win their soccer match.
Wednesday Koen and Anne-Laure took us to a point called 3 Countries.
Germany, Netherlands and Belgium meet in this location where the cement pillar is.
We walked up 214 steps in a tower to get this view. It was beautiful. After walking up the steps we chose the elevator down.
We also stopped to see this castle, it even had a moat all around it.
Then it was off to an underground fort used during World War II. We had a picnic lunch there, and did the above ground trail it was the size of 150 football fields. We are getting a very good history lesson about Belgium. This picture shows one of the penetrations above ground. To see more about Fort d'Eben-Emael go to
www.fort-eben-emael.be. Very interesting place.
