Our European Tour
Belgium – Silly observations
(By Tracey- September 30, 2019)

Not many observations for Belgium as we haven’t spent that long in the country. As always these may not be accurate, just what I noticed.

  • It was welcome to Belgium with a bumpity bump, almost like being back in Italy. We drove over that border line and you knew where the border is because the road became full of pot holes. 
  • Lots of the roads are concrete, so noisy and bumpy
  • The first motorway we did had narrow lanes and potholes again like Italy.
  • Ice-cream van, I’ve not heard one of these for ages. 
  • Fritteries (sausage and chips fast food places) are everywhere, middle of nowhere turn a corner and there was a fritterie.
  • Red yellow street lights, that the uprights, a big square pole mark a zebra crossings.
  • So far I have come across a few obnoxious Belgians. Luckily at the last site I met a nice Belgian.
  • The sea front places all seemed to be lined with high-rise buildings
  • A tram runs the whole length of the coast
  • Begian waffles are rather nice
