Belgium

We stayed 12 days in Belgium (July 25 - August 5) and L-O-V-E-D seeing our family again after the initial isolation and testing. I especially enjoyed our walks on the beach and in the "Zwin" nature reserve and spending time with my brother and his family, and my parents. We were allowed to see each other in our corona-bubble, as the rules during the time of our visit were such that one family could have a bubble of maximum 5 contacts (children under 12 not included). So it was OK for Wouter and his family to see us (2 adults and 2 kids under 12) and my parents (2 adults). However, we still wore masks most of the time (not when eating or drinking), kept our 1.5 m distance as much as possible and did not shake hands, hug or kiss. 

Here are some impressions:
