Today, we crossed Belgium.

First stop needed for a toilet, and some lunch (long before needing to charge the car). A castle, a moat, and some pumpkin sculptures – that’s what we need 😉.

Using the toilet costs €0.50 per person, per pee. Gone are the days of “spending a penny”. This one seemed to use some honour system, where we left coins on a table.

You can guess what was offer for lunch: pumpkin soup, pumpkin fries – everything pumpkin.

Charging:

Along the way we stopped briefly twice to get our bearings. First at our first European Tesla Supercharger. It had no public toilets, but did have one of the many rubbish bins that are mostly underground, which we’ve seen in The Netherlands and Belgium. Second at a supermarket carpark, where another EV had blocked both charging bays, requiring us to reposition to connect.

We didn’t need either these stops to charge, but we just generally plug in while parked anyway.
