Tuesday 24th May

I was up early this morning. I saw this man, a fellow camper vanner, empty the contents of his toilet down a storm drain next to the dedicated camper parking place in Rekem. We are truly our own worst enemies! It is not at all surprising that "no overnight sleeping in vehicles" signs are springing up all over Europe. I despair!

We moved on to the Belgian town of Aalst today and parked by the swimming pool. There is plenty of green space around which is used by the local school for PE etc.

 

Ann walked into town - here's the church. She also went for a swim in the swimming pool.

Parking for camper vans is free in Aalst - only problem is that if you want water it costs 5.50 euros for 10 minutes supply! Most expensive water I've come across.

Our journey today which included passing just north of Brussels was 89 miles (143 kilometres) long.
