We
took a cruise down the Maas River to Liege, in Belgium today, just
because we could, & I thought it would be easier having a day of
mainly sitting down. The weather continues to be yucky, though at
least we are under cover for most of the day.
The
cruise took us through the Albert Canal, which has a 15m high water
difference!
Liege
seems like an industrial town, with many barges going up & down
the river. There were some nice old buildings around the main town
centre though.

| One old building seemingly being "squeezed" at the end of more modern ones |

| We couldn't figure out what the little roof doors were/are for? |

The cruise was enjoyable for its novelty not its scenery. However the walk around Liege was scenic, with loads of interesting old buildings.
