Our breakfast was the typical bread and jam affair at the hotel: you don't expect much more for 6 Euros. Thereafter, the real slog through the Ardennes began although following the Sousse river valley provided some level of respite.
Back in Belgium and the province of Namur, Bob and Mark took a short stop in the beautiful riverside village of Bohan-sur-Semois before continuing on through the Ardennnes. Another return into France and then the Luxembourg province of Belgium with a fabulous 'do before you die' 5 mile downhill run into the town of Bouillon. A sort of Blackpool on the river with temperatures back in the 30's, the boys only stopped for a quick late lunch.
And finally, to Florenville, a border town where the celebrations for Independence Day were in full swing. As a consequence, our final night in Belgium was heralded with a firework display at 11pm, followed by an outdoor disco that went on until 2am! Not what you desire when the hotel room backs onto the auditorium and you have to have the windows wide open because temperatures are roasting.
