Along the River Semois

---

24 September 2017

The river Semois flows into the Meuse at Montherme and we followed its amazingly meandering course for about 40k through beautiful wooded valleys just beginning to show their autumn colours. Sometimes the road was by the river and sometimes on ridges above it. During the journey, we crossed back into Belgium and were surprised that what we had previously thought to be a flat country had such attractive countryside.

We stayed the night at Bouillon, a town built inside an amazingly tight bend of the river and dominated by a thousand-year-old castle. Wendy was not feeling too well and while she had a sleep, I walked around the town which was humming with many visitors enjoying their Sunday afternoon in the sunshine.
