Han-sur-Lesse

Han-sur-Lesse was actually our destination, not Rochefort. Han-sur-Lesse is known for its huge caves and the cave formations. Now, I have seen this type of cave before in Germany with Curtis and Anna, but this one was amazing compared to that one. The largest chamber was 110 meters tall, they actually have plays in this room, we missed A Mid-Summer nights dream by a few days. This cave system has a river flowing threw it and the tour ends with you in a boat inside the mountain, too cool. Our guide was approached by a Polish man wishing to know if they could do an English tour (they had French and Dutch), so he brought out a sign with “English” on it to gather enough English speaking people to warrant a special tour for this language. Julie and I were at the front of the pack, and the Guide spoke to everyone in the group and found out that Julie and I were the only true English speaking people of the newly formed group (English being Julie’s second language, it’s almost like I was the only uni-lingual person there). Kind of funny we thought. Part of the package we bought, also provided us with a wild life tour, which Julie kept thinking the animals were underfed due to their size, but later guessed that they were not North American animals, but European, which is why they were smaller. To me, it could be a little bit of both. The package also included a 4-D cinematic game about the caves we just went into. This is typically for kids, but we went in anyway and Julie kicked my ass at it. There was also a museum we could have skipped, but again since it was apart of the package we walked through it. When we arrived in Han-sur-Lesse, a very small town, around 5500 people, we stumbled upon a parking site for RV’s, for 2.50 euros we could park for the day. We, among many other campers, chose to believe that our day pass lasted until opening time at 9:30 the next morning. It was here where we had a great conversation with a guy from Holland on vacation with his family. So far, all the campers we have run into, have been around this age group, so it feels a little weird to talk to them when they are out on vacation with their families (even though we know it shouldn’t).
