Thus far, the best hometel yet. And a bathtub even! I’ll give you one guess as to where I’ve been for the past hour😂😂. I underpacked weather-wise, but after the heat and humidity of Jamaica and Cambodia, I WILL NOT complain about being cold!😂😂. So I’ve been wearing simple shirts when others are bundled up. On the first day I kept getting offers of jackets. One young man wouldn’t take no for an answer, so I dutifully wore his coat until we got back on the bus. I then started reassuring them that I have one of Dean’s flannel shirts if I need it, but not a day goes by that I don’t get several ‘aren’t you COLD?’ comments. I just smile and shake my head. I thought about picking up a jacket, but so far, I’ve been quite comfortable. And the tour group now knows that Dean and I are Montana tough😂😂.
From what we can see of Belgium thus far, it is every bit as lovely as Normandy. Belgium has the highest number of castles we were told, so I am looking forward to seeing some! And we have an electric tea kettle in our room, so tomorrow will be Starbucks granules 👏👏👏👏! Even with the espresso from the fancy-dancy machines, I still have to add a stick of Nestle coffee granules to make it taste more of what I am used to at home.
This evening’s dinner, Italian. Plus-One had lasagne bolognes, and I had the penne carbonara. Now we know to share something, as we had so much leftover. I feel bad leaving it behind, but it is just too much for one person to eat. So very tasty though!
We learned Belgium is renowned for their beer. I was worried I wouldn’t find any wine, but alas…best Cabernet of the trip!
I am going to love Bastogne🇧🇪👏👏.
