That\u2019s right folks, we had showers this morning! We are, once again, clean, and are still stationary next to les pompiers (the fire station) in Arlon, which is about as far south as Belgium goes (N49.69019 E5.81895). Hmmm, just checked the map, you could get a bit further south, but I doubt the weather would improve much.<\/p>\n<p>Only one small disadvantage to being parked up next to the fire station: when it kicks off, you know about it. This morning, after we\u2019d arisen from bed at a most late hour, it kicked off. Engine after engine roared off past us, sirens blaring. Half of Belgium was going up in smoke it seemed, which seemed odd considering the fact the sky\u2019s been steadily watering the place? Pulling back a curtain, Ju spied the cause: nippers. The same engine was driving back and forth, each time impressing a new batch of ankle-biters with the blue lights and wailing horns. The kids in the cab looked ecstatic, and les pompiers did us a favour getting us on the move.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_19521\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19521\" class=\"size-large wp-image-19521\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC09485-1024x561-1024x561.jpg\" alt=\"Local kids being entertained by Belgium's firemen.\" width=\"620\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC09485-1024x561.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC09485-1024x561-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC09485-1024x561-768x421.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-19521\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Local kids being entertained by Belgium&#8217;s firemen.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>It\u2019s the 1<sup>st<\/sup> Feb today, and I imagined few fellow motorhomes would be daft enough to be ambling about northern Europe at this time of year.

The town\u2019s a mile or so away, and would no doubt be quite a pleasant spot on a summer\u2019s day. As with much of the Belgium I\u2019ve seen, it\u2019s struggling to maintain itself, it has a general air of tiredness to the passing eye. Ju found some WiFi in the town earlier and came across a comment comparing Belgium to a 3<sup>rd<\/sup> world country, which made me smile. Belgium seems to be run down, as though the money to maintain it ran out a decade or two back, but 3<sup>rd<\/sup> world? Nah \u2013 try as I might, I\u2019ve not been able to spot a single rag-clad semi-starved person ploughing a field with a piece of wood tied to a skinny ox.<\/p>\n<p>We had a wander about, arriving as usual at locked o\u2019clock, peering up the streets, into cafes and checking in at the tourist info office, where Ju nearly gave the receptionist lass a heart attack by, ah, just being there? It seems unlikely the place gets a huge number of international tourists. While the rain held off, we beat a retreat back to Zagan and have an afternoon\u2019s coffee drinking, cooking and reading ahead of us.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_19528\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19528\" class=\"wp-image-19528 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC09499-1024x569-1024x569.jpg\" alt=\"DSC09499 (1024x569)\" width=\"620\" height=\"345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC09499-1024x569.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC09499-1024x569-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC09499-1024x569-768x427.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-19528\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Congo was a Belgian colony until 1960.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_19527\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19527\" class=\"wp-image-19527 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC09498-1024x541-1024x541.jpg\" alt=\"DSC09498 (1024x541)\" width=\"620\" height=\"328\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC09498-1024x541.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC09498-1024x541-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC09498-1024x541-768x406.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-19527\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ju&#8217;s gradually returning to normal.
