Guys, serious question. When was your last vacation? And I’m not talking about a weekend staycation here. I’m talking about that 2 weeks (or more??) vacation that took you 7 hours to get there…. I mean… That’s what I personally think of as a proper vacation at least. And yeah, I totally understand that that in itself is a privilege that not everybody has. And of course I’m not saying you have to get 2 weeks off and fly 7 hours to get a vacation, but you know what I mean. ………. Right?
My last vacation was on July 2019, which now that I think about it, was pretty close to the beginning of the pandemic….. It was not generally the time we would have our yearly family vacation, and I remember we planned it rather last minute because we had to pay an exorbitant amount for the flight since it was near the biggest holiday in Indonesia and I was almost not able to go because my work permit was expiring in less than 6 month, which mean I didn’t fulfil one of the requirements for a visa. Anw, long story short, we went to Europe.
Another long story short, what I wanted to ask was this: have you ever got sidetracked and went somewhere that you’ve never heard of before that you never even planned on going on your vacation but ended up completely in love with it? Cos I have. In that trip to Europe, during our train ride back to Brussels from Dinant, we had to make a brief stop at Namur and just made a split second decision to get out of the train and have a look around.
OK, if you live in Europe you might be thinking, how can you not know Namur? It’s such a big hub! Well, sorry, I don’t know all the towns there are in Indonesia, the country I live in, let alone Europe. Anw, Namur is such a pretty town but the place that was dear to me was this tiny little shop:
We walked quite a bit from the train station was just looking around for a place to sit when we chance on this cafe. The inside was cute… but full… so we sat outside. The thing that make it stuck in my mind so vividly? Their strawberry tart! It was easily the best strawberry tart I ever tasted! I would 10/10 go back to Namur just for that strawberry tart. So guys, if you can visit, please do visit and get their strawberry tart (if I remember correctly, their tart was outsourced locally and the person we talked to recommended it to us). If you already knew this cafe, do you also like their tart as much as I do?
If you guys have any such experiences, can you please comment down below and let me know? I’d love to know your experience!
