July 28 in Brussels and Dinant

Got up and decided to go to Dinant since it wasn’t raining. Over to the train station and g to tickets round trip for 1/3 of what I have been paying on-line for being senior citizens. I’m not impressed with the on-line ability now.
First thing we did was  the wrong train (right track, wrong train). We realized our mistake as soon as we started moving. A conductor finally came by and was a really big help. He told us which stop to depart from and which train to get on that would take us where we want. Did that and got on the next train and the conductor had been notified and was on the lookout for us. Everyone was out to take care of us. We got to Dinant only about 1/2 hour after we were originally scheduled to.
What a beautiful little town! Nestled alongside some high cliffs with a gothic church, a saxophone museum as Adolph’s Sax came from here, a cable sky ride to the citadel. See video.

If you are ever in Belgium, this town is a “must”.
Got home ok and visited the “Hello Summer” festival again and wandered around our part of Brussels.
All in all, a great day.
