The village you had your disappointing meal at was Durnal, which has absolutely nothing in it! I met my partner there, who now lives with me in England. If you had pushed on another 20kms or so, you would have got to Dinant, birthplace of Adolphe Sax (inventor of the Saxophone) and it’s Citadelle, and plenty of good places to eat along side the river Meuse! And loads of campsites! Great video!

Ahhhh, taking me back to driving through Europe in my much missed yellow 2CV. The destination was Thessaloniki and we made it with no problem. Just escaped Yugoslavia on the way back as it imploded into civil war. I've never seen so many men with Kalashnikov AK74s!!! Did the same journey on my Yamaha FZR 1000RU in 2000 but got a ferry from Venice to Igomenitsa. Fab ride, 170 mph on the Brenner Pass, the Katara (Cursed) pass in northern Greece. When I rummage through my memories I feel really lucky 😊

[@vincentdubois3291]

Hello Mr HubNut ! I am Belgian and i live in a neighbouring village of the campsite where you spent the night . I agree with you , camping "le pommier sauvage" in Durnal is not the best one in the country ! I work in Dinant , just half mile away of the hardware shop and the gas station . Take good care of Ellie and have a nice trip to Croatia ! Drive safely .

[@vincentdubois3291]

Thanks . The name of that campsite in Durnal is "le pommier rustique " (the wild appletree) and your housing seemed very rustic, indeed . When viewing the video , i was surprised to see roads and places that i know . I subscribed to your channel a few weeks ago and i am very interested by the road tests and your comments about cars of yesterday , cars that i have seen during my youth . It brings back memories ! Dont drink too much Champaign and drive safely in France ! If Ellie breaks down it wont be too difficult to find spare parts there !

[@millomweb]

One does wonder if subscribers here could have planned a better trip for hub nut ! You know, visiting all the car spares stores along the way. A wondrous trip from and to Wales in Elly. On getting back home, the only part of Elly that remains the same as when starting this tour is the driver and number plates.

I have to say Belgium was so much more picturesque than the Netherlands since I love the hills and valleys that wind through the countryside. That Gorge in particular was "gorgeous!" 😅. The only thing that seemed wierd to me is that you're traveling into your campsite and neighboring small town for which everyone seems to be asleep. Nobody outside walking around in the entire town. Maybe they were all too busy eating their Belgium waffles. 🤔🤣

[@flitsertheo]

One disadvantage if you travel "on the cheap" is that you could end up in a backwater like this one. Though it is maybe better that he missed the larger towns and cities as traffic is hell in Belgium.

[@klwthe3rd]

@@flitsertheo I agree. I like taking the path less followed. It's only a bonus that the accommodations are cheap. You don't need a ton of room or fancy furnishings to make your stay pleasant. Sadly you could never do that in the United States as hotel, motel or BNB rates are not cheap.

26:07 Adolphe Sax, inventor of the saxophone was from Dinant.. so that's probably why.

[@millomweb]

Why did he invent the saxophone ? Could he not master an existing instrument ?

[@Eis_Bear]

@@millomweb A saxophone is in essence a clarinet but made from brass instead of wood. This gives it a deeper and louder sound but keeps the agility of the clarinet, for this reason it is part of the woodwind family of instruments and not the brass family. He basically wanted to create a versatile instrument.

[@millomweb]

@@Eis_Bear My knowledge of instruments is minimal - hence my question - is the sax the only brass instrument with a reed ? (which may also be reflected in the fact it's not rated as a brass instrument ! ?
