Karibu's "30rd September: Trip to Annevoie" album http://public.fotki.com/Karibu/academic-year-20072008/30rd-september-trip/ Excursion to Annevoie-Rouillon, situated at the banks of the river Maas, halfway between Namur and Dinant – renowned for its beautiful gardens - http://www.jardins.dannevoie.be/ Programme 8 a.m. departure by bus from parking 1 (in front of building A), Campus Drie Eiken, Wilrijk Arrival at Annevoie around 9:30 - 10:00 a.m. 10 a.m. guided tour of the Annevoie Gardens. Have a look at the info at www.jardins.dannevoie.be 12 noon picnic at the “Orangerie des Jardins”. Bring a healthy picnic; Karibu treats everyone to a free drink. At 1 pm we have a short walk in the woods. Those of you who prefer to wait to put on their walking shoes until the afternoon can leave them in the bus at the parking lot and put them on before the 1 p.m. walk. At that time things can be left in/taken from the bus. From the magnificent panorama here starts the 2 km walk through the valley of the river Maas. There will be slight level differences, so the walk will involve some climbing and descending. The roads do not always allow taking a baby carriage or a buggy. Wear good walking shoes! We'll continue by bus to nearby Crupet to visit the cave of Saint Anthony (he who returns lost objects …) and have a look at the beautiful "Waterslot" (water castle). Crupet is one of the prettiest villages in Wallonie (the southern, French speaking part of Belgium). As always Karibu will be generous and treat you to a second drink!
