After 3 nights in Durnal, it was time to leave. First though off to collect the “Parcel”. Oh yes it was there as promised. A point to note is that the roads in Belgium are as bad as the UK. Anyway, first stop was Dinant, on arrival it was smaller than we anticipated! Dinant was the birth place of Adolphe Sax who invented the saxophone, there was a very small museum on the site of his birthplace & the town had saxophones everywhere. The citadel cable car wasn’t open, so we opted not to walk up the hundreds of steps! We had petite dejuener overlooking the river. We had intended to stay overnight at an Aire not far from Dinant, however with time to spare decided to go to Namur (which is the capital of the Wallonia region) We were able to park up on a free Aire in the city, so spent the night there! Namur too has a Citadel, but guess what? The cable car wasn’t open. We would have liked to visit the underground passages but were too late in the day. Took a walk along the river & explored the old part of the city, found a refreshment spot and watched the world go by. Went back out in the evening to try a bar called Barnabeer, which has a selection of over 300 beers & 40 or so on tap!
