Polleur

Stopped off in Canterbury before getting to Dover - thanks for our lovely dinner Jan and Graham – it was good to spend a couple of hours with you. Had a calm evening crossing to Calais and spent the night in the large parking area at the port. Quite busy there, so our spot (finding it at almost midnight French time) was quite close to the access road, but the comings and goings of others didn’t spoil our sleep very much. Big holdups on the A25 with major roadworks between Dunkerque and Lille, so slow progress this morning. Camping tonight south east of Liege, still in Belgium, but not far from the German border. Site owned by Dutch with half of Holland’s population here! Fine for a night halt though, especially as low season has already started here, so could use our ACSI card and pay half price. A very nasty incident on the motorway just before Liege airport. There was an almighty bang and Ann instinctively looked left out of the passenger window, so witnessed a car on the other carriageway still moving towards the central reservation (2 concrete walls a meter high) and glass showering up – a momentary glance, as we were then beyond it, but one which will be imprinted in my memory. Please join our prayers for the people involved.
Very interesting countryside around this part of Belgium – we are in a very deep wooded valley with a small fast-flowing river beside the site, just beyond the village of Polleur. We came through the village by mistake as we missed a campsite sign, but it meant that we drove through more of the valley and under an extremely high viaduct with the motorway on top – how did they build that?!
Into Germany tomorrow .....
