Like the Crocodile Café and the floating bus: 'Crocodille Rouge', but especially the Aquacentre nearby is a must when your there. The service is very good and they also try to speak your language when you order your meal in the restaurant next to it! As a biker I enjoyed the food and ofcourse the atmosphere while I was there. The location, the people and ofcourse the roads are perfect to spend the holidays at! For bikers and ofcourse people who like the woods and being in the nature I recommend this place as a MUST visit when your in our awesome "Belgische Ardennen"! Tip: Don't go on a very hot day... It will be absolutly busy and worst of all: no parking spots... -This review was written as a task for English class-

We take the highway to Charleroi then, from the Charleroi ring, we enter into the magnificent 'botte du Hainaut', green and luxuriant in order to live a few hours or a week-end of total relaxation. It's really easily reachabe a stone's throw from our concrete and noisy capital. The lakes 'de l'Eau de l'Heure' between the province of Namur and the province of Hainaut, have the perfect ingredients to relax. There are five different lakes where people are found practicing all watersports: waterski, watergolf, surf, jetski, swimming in the superb aquacentre, powerwalking, hiking, yachting, scuba diving, an extraordinary diversity of sports for all ages, young and old. There are also possibilities to learn about the history and the 'why' of this area that offers such beautiful landscapes. From the high tower of the dam, we enjoy this wonderful region full of lakes, rivers and valleys. We can go for one or more days, or maybe for the weekend. There are multiple possibilities for accommodation: the golden lakes village : amazing cottages with a nice teras with a view on the lake. All this in the middle of serpent-like rivers and reeds. A high class family formula on the banks of the lake 'de la Plate Taille'.
