Into Belgium

We had planned on stopping for two nights in maastricht, but as the weather forecast was for really heavy downpours on Thursday we stopped for another day on our free river mooring.  We've done some of the tourist stuff in Maastricht - including visiting the tunnels, as did Napoleon and d'Artagnan of Musketeer fame.  Maastricht is definitely worth a visit.

Bookshop in Maastricht - said by the Guardian to be:"The fairest bookshop of the world, a bookshop made in Heaven"


Left on Friday after refuelling at a floating fuel station in the city centre and headed south again.  Some more huge locks and a long stretch of heavy industrialisation just over the border into Belgium.


Another lock!

We stopped briefly at Liege but decided to carry on towards the quieter areas.  Stopped at Huy for the night. Had Moules Frites in the harbour bar and have  again only been charged 1€/metre a night for the berth, includes electric hook up and good showers.  Why are we so expensive in the UK?

And we are amongst hills again!
