Random roadtripping to Lubbeek & Tielt-Winge
When Jan was in the USA and I was preparing for a business trip on my own, I spent the weekend prepping food for my mom to come and live in our home for a couple of days. But when all was ready we had a free Sunday afternoon on our hands.
I proposed to do some random roadtripping in the area again. Kabouter and I had already hopped once in the car with the aim to just aimlessly and completely randomly drive around and discover new adventures. To be transparent: I suggest this to overcome a bit my driving traffic stress & fears. Kabouter was enthusiastic, Beertje confused but we got in the car and started driving.
We didn't go entirely on sheer luck but decided to go in the direction of the Kasteel van Horst. That's another spot I've visted once with Kabouter alone but Beertje had never been there before.
We didn't want to use the GPS too much but went old school searching for road signs and much to our amazement we all of a sudden found ourselves part of a tractor parade. We tried to get out again, take a detour, only to get back at that same parade that was on its way in the direction of Horst as well as part of some agricultural festivities in Tielt-Winge. Quite amuzing. I guess that's the "adventures" you come across when just going with the flow.
We drove back via the Gempemolen which I recognized from webcam tv images and then it was time to return home...with gps to be a bit more efficient.
