Dinant is my favourite destination in Belgium! The town itself is quite lovely and serene, and the surrounding area is a gem filled with castles, monasteries, impressive abbeys, fabulous scenery and cute villages like Sosoye, Celles, Waldzin Castle and Maredsous. Although I love cities like Bruges and Ghent, I can't wait to visit this often overlooked part of Belgium again.
I'm glad you enjoyed my adopted country, Belgium! One of my favorite things about the place is the sheer density of things worth seeing. We never have to suffer hours of tedious driving on featureless highways to get to someplace interesting. I love getting lost here. Just drive in any direction for 10 minutes... Castle. Fortress. Abbey. Brewery. Gorge. Ruins. Beer. Fries. Palace. Waterfall. War cemetery. Local, completely obscure but delicious beer. Caves. Nature reserve. Museum. Hiking trail. Biking path. More beer. Battlefield. Marsh. Hops field. Vineyard. Dunes. Beer. Nuclear powerplant. Beer. Fries and beer. Waffles and beer. Beer and more beer, beer without peer! Hope you liked it here, come back soon! :D
That part of Belgium is worth a holiday on it's own. In Dinant you've missed the Citadel and the tour on the river "Meuse". In Han Sur Lesse there is a very nice and big cave and a wildlife park, both worth to visit. And of course don't forget some change next time for the "frites" and the dozens of tasty sauces. I prefer the "sauce bruin Leffe".
Great! I'm no traveller at all, so I've never been to Belgium. And it looks so beautiful. The bulk of the youtube travel channels go to Asia, Africa, South America, but I'd like to see more of this. Or Scandinavia in winter. Or anything lesser known in Europe.
Belgium is so great and so underrated! Thanks for finding out about the lesser known parts of the country. Next time, it might be an idea to make a culinary tour of the kingdom: it's an undiscovered paradise for gourmets. The Belgians really care about food... and its pairing with wine or with their excellent beers.
Alex, I was also surprised. Belgium is lovely, I went for work thinking... belgium, ho hum, and then wow! I know it's not a great time to be eating in restaurants, but they can cook!
I AM JUST LOVING HAVING YOU BACK AND TRAVELING . OUR CAMPER VAN IS JUST ABOUT READY FOR US TO USE AND CANT WAIT TO GO ON OUR ADVENTURES IN IT . CANT WAIT TO SEE THE SHOWER AS OURS DOESN'T HAVE A BATHROOM IN IT . ENJOY AND LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT INSTALMENT 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Just finding your channel. Seeing bits of Belgium brings back memories of touring Belgium whilst living in France with my parents for 2.5 years as a wee lad 60 years ago, ...my father was American military. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your 'Continental' holiday. Slàinte Mhath🏴
Oh no! You didn't get any fries? Was so hoping to see Alex's review of the difference between fries in Belgium and chips in the UK! 😂 Also, super curious to see how that shower turns out! haha That app is super awesome! What a find!
Well done you two another great video, gald you are enjoying Belgium, i love it there, people are so friendly, food good, nice things to see Especially Bastogne. Shower bag, to heat up easier, lay it on the biggest rock nearest you and i mean biggest that is facing the sun, Rocks hold their heat overnight, always a good one to remember if caught out in the cold overnight, huddle to large rocks that are hot or warm. The Reserve you went into that resembles Horse Shoe Canyon (sort of ) lolol reminds me of the area around Ross on wye And Monmouth, lovely areas. Just remember guys extreme heat is forecast over the next week in Europe and Uk so be careful overnight ok, And the cookie could have been used to entertain yourselves while camping as a Frisbee!! lolol, Stay safe!!!!
Great video guys! Who knew that Belgium was so pretty!! Actually we did. Toured Bruges in 2018. And I would totally be breaking my dental work on that biscuit too. I never believe the warnings! 😂
It's great that you enjoyed Belgium. Me, I love Giant's Tomb, because the refreshing air, breath-taking scenes and wonderful farm life. That cookie scene is funny. lol. Thanks for this wonderful video.
Solar shower heats best midday. In the morning the angle of sun is usually too low. You can heat water on stove and put in bag, just make sure you don’t get it to hot. If you leave bag on car roof gravity will supply the pressure. I use one on camping trips and it can work surprisingly well.
Long ago the monks of Belgium made their own beer, cheese and bread, very special ones....i know cus i´m Belgian...( i live close to a monestry) So one can still buy this in several towns...👍🙂
Great editing. Love the music too. My husband and I always like your choose of music. And the drone shots are awesome. Keep up the nice work! Once again, be safe and take care of each other. Dana from Pennsylvania, USA 😎
Haha. I went to Dinant on a school trip from London, probably around 1968 at 11 years old. I had my first continental breakfast experience there and also my first experience of being chased out of the funfair by the local kids. 😅Oh...those kids also stole a 6 inch high jelly baby that i had bought to take home to mum. Apart from that i had a great time there. Thanks for bringing back some childhood memories.
Thoroughly enjoyed the video. Europe seems to be more beautiful than UK. Love your presentation and the way you both talk, can listen to for hours, for sure. I know the future videos are gonna be more exciting. Hope the channel will grow faster. The quality of your channel deserves million subscribers. All the best.
Watching him crack that cookie was hilarious! So happy I happened upon this channel. You guys have great videos. Can't wait to follow along your travels. Just subscribed.
I could mention it's nice to see Emma driving on the "Right" side of the road in a vehicle designed for the "Wrong" side.... I could mention that the Cookie is classic Beans food... I could mention Alex insulting Belgians... too easy 🤔 I will mention that Belgium is beautiful and is a place I would like to visit. Great video with an intense Beans Out 👌
Apart from being a bloody good Frisby, that cookie would make ones arm ache dunking pieces of it for a minute or more in ones very large espresso. You should try to find an overnight stop by a river, it would solve the shower problem with a nice morning swim or splash around coupled with a nice smelling body spray. Stay safe.❤💋💋👸🧔
I just recently found you through a Flying the Nest group on Facebook. Everyone was suggesting other travel UA-camrs and you were on there. You are so cute and funny. Can't wait to follow you around. Be safe!
Laura, check out the vlog with the Travel Beans and Endless Adventure in Slovenia. It is about as funny as funny gets. Enjoy! ua-cam.com/video/A-PxIoqMhUs/v-deo.html
Nice video. I found your channal by coincident. It was recommanded by UA-cam. I saw this clip ... I'm Belgian, but I learned new things. Here in Flanders, Wallonia is quiet unknown (the languege has also something to do with it). It's like another country to us. Dinant I know off course, but never heared of the Giant Tombs or that most photographed point you were at. So I'm not sure if your information is accurate. I would think the city of Bruges is the most photographed thing here. 😁 We've got many lovely places in Flanders also, not only Bruges! I think it is a real pity you didn't visit more in Belgium, and even nothing in Flanders. And what about: How knew Belgium is beautiful??? Don't say that here, we are sensitive about that. It wasn't funny. Next time do a van trip in Belgium, the whole country, and you will be amazed. 😉 PS: a lot of cities can be prononced in several ways. Ex: Dinant (with t in Dutch) and Dinan (without t in French and also the letter a is prounounciated differently). The best example must be also a Walloon city with 3 names: Liège (French), Luik (Dutch) and Lüttich (German). The 3 official languages of Belgium. 😉
Hey ! I didn't know your channel but I saw this video by chance. I lived all my childhood in Habay and I worked many years as a student at the archaeological site of Mageroy. You should have asked the archaeologists for a little visit, they are really kind and can speak English. I hope you enjoyed the view !
Thank you so for your lovely videos always wanted to travel Europe hope one day I still get the opportunity would love to visit Germany where my mother was from. Her town was close to the Black Forest and close to the French border. Donna.
Belgium looks beautiful. I’ve been to Brussels but the his area looks very different and not too crowded. The editing of the newer videos had also been great. Have a polished travel show feel to them 👍
I love Europe Europe country is the world no no 1 most expensive beautiful sweet very very nice wonderful I love Europe culter I love Europe food I love Europe arechture I love you Europe Europe is the my all time favourite continent in the world bro
Leffe is a commercial beer made by AB INBEV and is stuffed with chemicals... those massive brewery corporations kill the small artisan Belgian Brewers. never buy or drink beers from these factories. Do your research, Belgium has hundreds of small (home)breweries. Check these out ! greetings from Belgium
I'm from the US ..Love Belgium! I was going in May but you know how that went. I was going to Dinant for a day. looks as beautiful as the pictures I have seen. Maybe next year.
I so love your videos but the history geek in me is dying! You were next to a historical Roman dig and not even a quick mention of hat it was......still love you guys!
So now is the moment to request shower footage? I am game provided it is not Alex showering... Owww that might hurt his feelings... let's say you 2 together? Would that work with the garbagebag-shower? ;-) ;-) Sure you have seen some very nice spots of Belgium :)
Please nooo, this pie's not a flamiche :) Looks like a quiche. The real Flamiche is butter, eggs and boulette de Romedenne :) Follow the link here at 3:45. Thanks for the vidéo ! ua-cam.com/video/2RHU-gomEV0/v-deo.html

That was great.😄
:-o That is only in Wallonia, I think. Here in Flanders you don't have all these things in 10 minutes.
@@tamaraaelbrecht1718 Yes, you do, try Flemish Limburg province. On the other hand, Wallonia does not have a coast.
@@tamaraaelbrecht1718 But Flanders has magnificent historical cities like Bruges, Ghent(!), Antwerp, Leuven,...
Belgium has a lot to offer,in every corner of the land,there is always something to explore.

Congratulations miss, this is the pronociation of Dinant 🙂

As a Belgian I can say it's a really beautiful region. Imho together with the High Fens the most beautiful region of Belgium.
Great idea to have the local beer and food.... And Alex could never be offensive... He is too funny
Oh no! You didn't get any fries? Was so hoping to see Alex's review of the difference between fries in Belgium and chips in the UK! 😂 Also, super curious to see how that shower turns out! haha That app is super awesome! What a find!
Sorry forgot to say really enjoying all your videos
Hi Guys 👋 new subscriber. Although from the uk I actually heard about you guys via “ The Endless Adventure “ loving what I see 👍
I mean this with love for your both. The phrase "arrogantly English" is redundant
Like "arrogantly American" or "arrogantly French"?
I can't wait to visit Europe and Belgium next summer 2021 To summer 2022 I visit long tour Europe bro I love Europe bro
My great grandfather was born in Dinant.

That cookie might make a good weapon should need one :) That area of Belgium looks great!
😂 It probably would!
Great video guys! Who knew that Belgium was so pretty!!
Actually we did. Toured Bruges in 2018.
And I would totally be breaking my dental work on that biscuit too. I never believe the warnings! 😂
It's great that you enjoyed Belgium. Me, I love Giant's Tomb, because the refreshing air, breath-taking scenes and wonderful farm life. That cookie scene is funny. lol. Thanks for this wonderful video.
Bath Oliver biscuits in the UK cannot be bitten either. Dunking is the answer!

The biscuits seem more style than substance. Maybe nice with a bucket sized coffee for dunking
I could mention it's nice to see Emma driving on the "Right" side of the road in a vehicle designed for the "Wrong" side.... I could mention that the Cookie is classic Beans food... I could mention Alex insulting Belgians... too easy 🤔
I will mention that Belgium is beautiful and is a place I would like to visit. Great video with an intense Beans Out 👌
You Kids are Blessed. Make My Old Ass Smile. You should Play Frisbee with that Rock Cookie
It's so nice to see that you enjoy my country so much :) Nice video
How fun! Great video.
OMG Alex almost wet himself over that hawk!
Apart from being a bloody good Frisby, that cookie would make ones arm ache dunking pieces of it for a minute or more in ones very large espresso.
You should try to find an overnight stop by a river, it would solve the shower problem with a nice morning swim or splash around coupled with a nice smelling body spray. Stay safe.❤💋💋👸🧔
Good idea.. a river swim would be a wonderful start to the day!

Another great video! I love the freedom and flexibility that VAN LIFE portrays. Perhaps I’ll be a future Van Lifer :)

Nice video bro
Hope your shower not too cold 😜. ( advise to have some euros with you ,just incase of a pin storing you just never know these days ) 🤔
wild camping 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
..mate, you're eatin' a quiche!
👍
Oh your flamiche sounds just like German Flammkuchen (which it is, according to Google). German-French foods, nom.
This pastry is not even close to a flat Flammkuchen ... though the name sounds like a mixture of Flam(mkuchen) plus (Qu)iche.
I understand you have a brochure that you could email of this trip to Belgium as would like to tour around in camper van and Harley thanks

Such a beautiful little place.. It'll be worth the wait I'm sure! 😊
How are the new rules (Belgium added to quarantine for example) going to effect you or are you ok for it?
check the news, Dinant is flooded as we speak...
I so love your videos but the history geek in me is dying! You were next to a historical Roman dig and not even a quick mention of hat it was......still love you guys!
how could you go to Dinant and not go to the citadel ?
Really, can't believe there's a cookie that big ??
They had even bigger ones too.. we went for a medium sized one haha
What's a reash
So now is the moment to request shower footage? I am game provided it is not Alex showering... Owww that might hurt his feelings... let's say you 2 together? Would that work with the garbagebag-shower? ;-) ;-) Sure you have seen some very nice spots of Belgium :)

I never thought Belgium, the Sicily of the North in terms of crime, had a countryside... 😁
Most stupid thing I have ever heard
That should be enough for today 😍💋 💝💖♥️❤️
