N 50 48' 20", E 4 39' 49". These are the coordinates on how to get to the Speelbos in Speelberg, Belgium. What is a speelbos, you may ask? Well, it is a playground of sorts, with structures made entirely from wood and other things found in the forest. They are laid out along a trail where children (and adults) can climb and play on them...
The above coordinates would have been nice to have in advance, for it would have only taken us 15 minutes to find the Speelbos, rather than the 45 minutes it actually took us! But, as they say, it's all part of the adventure, right?
In any case, last Sunday, Ray and I packed a picnic lunch and took the girls for a walk through the forest in Speelberg. There seemed to be an endless array of paths to go through, several of which we did not have enough time to explore.
At first, some of the structures were a little disappointing, but as we ventured further along into the forest, the other structures we found were actually quite fun!
Overall, it was a nice leisurely afternoon enjoying the outdoors and fresh air. Aside from the bugs, it was a really enjoyable time.
Now there's something we wouldn't be able to do in Southern California!
