Thanks to the Google Earth image of Jennifer, we know now that we walked 6.87kms, took 1h 47 minutes and used 365 calories! Thanks Jennifer! At the beginning of the walk, we were all complaining about the continuous cold weather and icy wind but gradually, as we were walking fast and climbing many little hills in very varied landscapes, we felt better and were able to enjoy the pastoral scenes around us. The reward would be the discovery of the renovated tavern/restaurant "De Smidse" near the papermill which we passed by so many times on our way. Pour la petite histoire, De Smidse is one of the favourite restaurants of our very honorable President of the European Union Herman Van Rompuy. The person in charge of the tavern welcomed us very well which will encourage us to go back there next time. After nice refreshments and many exchanges, it was time to go back to the car park through lovely paths along fields full of goats and braying donkeys.
