During this past week, the thermometer here in Belgium has been hovering around 90 F -- which I believe is warmer than it is in California right now! In fact, Wednesday was the 2nd hottest day of the year, followed by Thursday's record-breaking temperature of 100F!!!
What do the Belgians do on hot days like these?! Head to the beach, of course! We, however, decided to stay a bit more local and head to Provincial Domaine Halve Maan in Diest -- which was just a 30 minute drive from Tervuren. Like any Provincial Domaine here in Belgium, Halve Maan was fabulous! The highlight of this locale was its "beach". The beach encompassed huge outdoor swimming pool/s surrounded by sand with two water slides and play structures for the kiddo's as well.
We spent the entire day there. The kids swam, played in the sand and went down the water slides for several hours. After exiting the beach area, Tor and I had a nice chat enjoying a cold Kriek while the girls had more playtime in the adjacent playground!
This was the perfect thing to do to cool down during the hot weather! And living in Belgium, you come to appreciate and take advantage of the warm sunshine...
