Belgium: Mooo

If you live in the concrete jungle or any overly congested city, you might know what a luxury it is to experience clean air as a given. Out here in the Semois Valley in Belgium, as I drive through the forests from one village to another, I want to run through the meadows and skip across streams just to celebrate the beauty of nature. But I know, it’s a bit kooky for someone my age to do this, so I fake strolling around the towns, like at Poupehan, when in my head I’m really doing cartwheels down the amazingly green hillside.

But can you blame me? These places should only exist on postcards, yet here they are for all the world to enjoy:

In the above video you can sort of hear cows mooing in the distance; I think I actually get to meet one of them on my drive back!

Moooo.
