Day 85 Tuesday 12th August:
Rained overnight! Very quiet camp area- Stellplatze. Away by 9.30 and off to Aachen. Toured the magnificent Town Hall and St Mary’s Church – all connected to Charlemagne and other German kings. Over thirty of them were crowned here. Very historic and exquisite. The cathedral and Town Hall date back to the 700s. Charlemagne was buried here in 814 AD.
And .. only 10kms from Belgium and their chocolates. We left for Belgium and stopped at Eugin.
Checked the Aust Gov Embassy site in Brussels and found that they were closed on Monday as it is a public holiday in Belgium – needing to vote we decided to change plans and headed for Brussels to vote tomorrow (Friday) reaching there at about 6 pm. Got involved in another traffic snarl, still the rain was pouring down, before arriving at Grimbergen for our overnight stop. Grimbergen was about 14 kms from Brussels .. and they have the most delicious chips!
