Ronquières Inclined Plane, Belgium

I have a cold, which isn't very bad, but left me quite unable to sleep last night. And although I do have some cold relief tablets, what I didn't have was any Sterimar, so I was glad to find some in Carrefour this morning. Carrefour was our first port of call. The Swan Whisperer went to find a bakery, as the nearest one was closed on Mondays, and came back with a delicious baguette and croissants, and after emptying the grey water, we set off, calling, as I said, at Cité Europe for me to shop at Carrefour and the SW to get diesel. 

That done, we headed on, and I promptly went to sleep, rousing up when we stopped for lunch feeling quite a lot better, which didn't stop me falling asleep again when we set off. 

I had suggested spending the night here, beside the Ronquières Inclined Plane, although there were several other places we could have stopped. One of which I didn't really want to stop at today as it's such a lovely place for a walk, and I really don't feel up for one! Maybe on Thursday.

We have seen barges being carried up and down the Inclined Plane, but I have closed up the van now to keep what heat there is in. The SW has gone for a walk, of course, but will be back soon. I wonder if there is any mulled wine left.....
