Wallonia wandering

And here comes Belgian summer.

Abruptly, intermittently, three days one week, one day another week.
Today 30 degrees feel like 42. Few more days and it is 7 degrees at night.

Be it as it may, summer brings energy, hope and wakefulness. Summer brings love and happiness, plans and expectations. And sometimes a bit of frustration for what the best plan could be to make use of the unexpected gift of sunshine.

Perhaps going to pretty, quiet, shining, tiny lake at Genval. Romantic, if you need. Being able to find good food (or maybe just a good coffee) would make it almost perfect, but one cannot have everything.

Flying is always a great idea for a summer day, a safe bet for a great time.
Even when factoring in the waiting in line, the sudden lack of good thermal lifts, the low ceiling due to air traffic regulation (anyone up for a close encounter with a Ryanair aircraft in its descent to Charleroi?)

Temploux may not be the most user-friendly of the aerodromes but still the best available option.
Papa X-Ray ready to take off.


Speaking of thermals. Lovely experience is also dipping in mineral water at an open air pool in Spa. Quite cute address, on the "Hill of Annette and Lubin". The Tourism Office also organises hikes on Sunday, both with sunshine and heavy rain (your guess which one I found). Add a deviation to historical Stavelot or funny Coo and it is easy to get some additional sense of Walloon cuteness.
