After getting the campervan serviced we left the next day for Belgium. Rather than trying to get up in two days we left a little later in the morning and took three days to get there.
The second night we stopped behind a church just an hour or so from the border.
They had a lovely memorial to WWI.
We crossed from France to Belgium without seeing a border – the road in the photo below is in France, and the church is in Belgium.
We arrived at the camperground in Zwalm before noon.
The fluffy white cat was still there – its deaf and has one blue eye and one green eye and is very friendly.
We headed the next morning to Kwaremont on the route of E3-Saxo and found a nice place to park just out of the town. They’re erecting a VIP tent and have a large flat area for campervans – likely for another race later in the week.
We walked down into the town – there were a bunch of folks enjoying a beverage in the town square.
I went into the nearby church, which was nice, if a bit gaudy inside.
The first racer arrived around 4:30 – Mathieu van der Poel…
…followed by Pederson, then Ganna. Van der Poel ended up winning in style.
