Hmmm, maybe she has. She&#8217;s not yet touched a foot on foreign soil on this tour, opting to wrap up in a sleeping bag and sleep as and when she can. After a quick discussion this morning, we decided to leave Bray-Dunes and head south a wee way, picking this 90 min-away spot from the reviews on park4night.com, one of which berated it for youths smoking dope nearby, but we know the weather&#8217;s going to be pants so probably not an issue for us.<\/p>\n<p>Before leaving I nipped out with Charlie. The wind was driving\u00a0sand around on the broad Bray-Dunes beach like great sweeps of silken cloth, a quite beautiful sight for me, but then my face is a metre and half above the blasting particles, unlike Mogwai&#8217;s. He was happier in among the high dunes, filled with concrete bunkers of varying shapes, like one of those &#8216;will it fit through the hole&#8217; child&#8217;s toys. His arthritis meds seem to kick in a few hours after he gets them with his breakfast though, so with stick in mouth, we headed back, fired up Zagan and set off south.<\/p>\n<p>We tipped east, down into Belgium, through a deadly dull, flattened mud and green landscape. The road stretched off in front, straight like a tight\u00a0string, the surface varying from &#8216;kangeroo bouncer&#8217; to &#8216;aaaahhhhhhh smooth&#8217;. The fast roads in Beligum are toll free, but signs ran towards us showing anything over 3.5 tonne will <a href=\"http:\/\/www.viapass.be\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">have to pay from April 2016<\/a>. Zagan weighs in at 3.5 tonne, so the change won&#8217;t affect the svelte fella.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_19490\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19490\" class=\"size-large wp-image-19490\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_20160129_112948489-1024x576-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Belgian roads - some won't be toll free for motorhomes weighing more than 3500Kg as of April 2016\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_20160129_112948489-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_20160129_112948489-1024x576-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_20160129_112948489-1024x576-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-19490\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Belgian roads &#8211; some won&#8217;t be toll free for motorhomes weighing more than 3500Kg as of April 2016<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Into any new country our eyeballs are attracted towards the glowing fuel station prices above all.

Our previous trips have seen us wander enough of these graveyards across Europe and North Africa to get the picture, so\u00a0we respectfully rolled on past.<\/p>\n<p>Pulling into Menin, which is in Belgium, we followed out satnav down a tiny road alongside a broad working canal, spying the port on the other side of the water. Narrower and narrower, nah, this isn&#8217;t the way. Extracting ourselves, we drove over an arch-sided bridge and along another canal, again with the port in sight but no way over. Back to the original road, which this time confirmed itself to be the wrong one with a barrier. Bugger it! Prodding the satnav and wandering about on foot, we finally found the right way, down the &#8216;Port de Plaisance&#8217; road, would you believe it?<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_19496\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19496\" class=\"size-large wp-image-19496\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/DSC09467-1024x629-1024x629.jpg\" alt=\"I'm pretty sure I took this photo in Belgium\" width=\"620\" height=\"381\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/DSC09467-1024x629.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/DSC09467-1024x629-300x184.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/DSC09467-1024x629-768x472.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-19496\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This beasty made me smile on a grey day in Belgium<\/p><\/div>\n<p>And with that, to be honest, today&#8217;s story pretty much ends. Ju&#8217;s too ill to go out, so I&#8217;ve wandered the town alone, whose main feature appears to be its ability to confuse as to which country you&#8217;re in. Half way down the Halluin high street in France you look down to check your boot laces and, erm, you&#8217;re in Menin, Belgium. Clearly tobacco taxation also alters at that invisible point, as the shops start flogging the stuff by the bucket load. The town&#8217;s lively, but feels a wee bit tacky if I&#8217;m honest, with rows of cigarette, booze and cheap clothes shops.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_19500\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19500\" class=\"size-large wp-image-19500\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/DSC09457-1024x374-1024x374.jpg\" alt=\"That sign to the right is the only indication you're crossing a national boundary\" width=\"620\" height=\"226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/DSC09457-1024x374.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/DSC09457-1024x374-300x110.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/DSC09457-1024x374-768x281.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-19500\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">That yellow sign to the right is the only indication you&#8217;re crossing a national boundary<\/p><\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-19495\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/DSC09451-1024x517-1024x517.jpg\" alt=\"DSC09451 (1024x517)\" width=\"620\" height=\"313\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/DSC09451-1024x517.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/DSC09451-1024x517-300x151.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/DSC09451-1024x517-768x388.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-19497\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/DSC09458-1024x506-1024x506.jpg\" alt=\"DSC09458 (1024x506)\" width=\"620\" height=\"306\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/DSC09458-1024x506.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/DSC09458-1024x506-300x148.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/DSC09458-1024x506-768x380.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Next up for me &#8211; knock up a risotto or paella, pour a glass of red wine, trace a finger across\u00a0the map looking for a route south, and then watch Michael Palin frolicking about the Himalaya?
