Belgium was the very first country that we visited on our 2019 motorhome tour of Europe. We remember quite vividly how we felt the first day that we arrived here, we were full of excitement and anticipation for our travels and at this point we had no idea what to expect. We had NEVER travelled before and motorhome living was still relatively new to us. We were here for 7 nights, three of those spent in Ypres and it turned out to be a great starting point for our adventure. Well, that is apart from the fellow motorhomers who parked up next to us on our first night and decided to steal our electric point because theirs wasn’t working! The countryside here is beautiful, lots of greenery and a ton of cows. There are also plenty of places of interest to visit, as Belgium is steeped in history. Something to note if you are visiting Belgium is that there are 3 official languages! This made things a little confusing for us as we didn’t have a clue which one we should be using.
