Six intrepid WIC Walkers braved the elements today to explore a portion of Uccle. There were not quite so many photos as the day was really ugly (managing photos through a baggie and an umbrella gets a bit tricky), but the walk was enjoyed by all. We were fortunate to have Jane with us to relate the history of the Kauwberg, which was quite colorful. We wound our way across the Kauwberg and then on to the Parc Sauvagère, which had a variety of animals, including peacocks, swans and a llama, and a lovely waterfall with a columned area above.
The Cimetière du Dieweg was a surprise for all. Fascinating and atmospheric and a bit sad that the families no longer care for the graves. Nature is taking over, but that adds an interesting element as well.
Back through Parc Wolvendael and another hill to work our glutes before arriving at the PQ at the Parvis St.-Pièrre for refreshments. Warm and dry it was and tempting with a luscious apple tarte and some tasty doo-dahs alongside.

I love the photos in the rain and the reward at the end was well worth it all. Yes, indeed!
