Bevaux-sur-Ourthe


We stopped by this small town to visit its giant maze. Well two mazes actually. We arrived at 10 am realizing that it wasn’t open for another 30mins we took a walk over to a market we passed on the way to the Labyrinth. As most markets seem to be, with the exception to the one in Amsterdam, are over priced. We find we can get cheaper food at the super markets, for example, a whole pizza for 1.80 euros. Not bad. The smaller wooden maze was fun, normally you had to answer questions right in order to pass through the barrier to continue on the maze, these weren’t working, but it was still fun to get lost in it. The other larger maze was in a corn field and had plays telling a story about a dragon throughout the maze. This wasn’t as fun, as we didn’t follow the plays (language issue) and we weren’t using the map that was provided, like everyone else. The maze was huge though, and it was based off an artist’s picture of a dragon, every year they change it. When we were talking with the girl at the gates, one apparently went up in Canada this year.

hahahaha good times. I think more towns should have giant mazes. Perhaps Milton should consider it!
