Day 3....29.7.09....Antwerpen to Marchin (near huy) still in Belgium....85 miles










Woke up....need more panniers for front....im a Libra, its all about the balance you know
Firstly petit dejeuner.

So got new panniers, more nice people big thanks to (super) Mario and Joanni keepin it real, even though expensive.

Belgium Not nice up and down, up and down, wheres Julie Andrews when you need her. Hmmm and haaaad on Huy for the night but, my little friend said keep going, so i did and what a result. I came across a sign For Marchin(hmm) and what a climb it was, arrived 9.30pm. It just started to spit as i got to Ville and popped into le bistro, Latitude 50. The place was a kind of Hostel/Hotel, all i wanted was a drink for my efforts and to get out of the rain(so far so good). I disturbed the party/meal which had 5 Italiano kids on holiday....The lovely ladies that were working there got to hear my story and soon everyone wanted to know. I turned on my Irish charm and my broken French and ended up staying for the night, food, shower, power and my own room, for nothing, what more could i ask for...MERCI BEAUCOUP much much appreciated. xxx... ps That night as i lay my head to sleep, it rained so hard zzzzzz
