Allowed to travel

Since Monday 15th June we are allowed to travel in Europe once more. The borders between the countries of the EU opened that day.

Brussels Airlines restarted its flights as well. Only 15 the first day, but every day a couple more. We took advantage of the voucher we'd got for a cancelled flight and booked ourselves a trip at the end of July, early August. To France.

For me, staying at home without outlook on a trip to another country has been the hardest part of the lockdown. We're so used to making trips nearly every school holiday! The last few years we barely spent one in Belgium. Travel is our main passtime.

So this summer we can look out to being in the south of France and enjoy the good food and wine. We found a good hotel and intend to do some daytrips as well. I don't know what the rest of the year will bring, though.

In October we are supposed to go to England, for a concert of Michael Bolton. But there are still restrictions in Great-Britain. You can travel to it, but have to remain in quarantine. As long as these restrictions are not lifted, going to England won't be an option.

And about our scheduled trip in November we equally don't have any news. The airline is at the moment not flying from Brussels. Will they resume? We don't know. So that trip is still pending.

Anyway, we are going to be making some plans for 2021.
