-Belgium-
June 1815
-Ligny-Waterloo: [our 2023 visit]
-an impression-
Remark: the first picture shows a Belgian-Hollando Carabinier helmet with the lion head. Later; after the independence in 1830; on the M1843 Other Ranks pattern, the Belgian Cuirassier regiments will wear this typical lion head.
Yep! Thirst quencher.
I prefer the stronger: like Duvel. Hommel.
Trappist Tripel.
-And the real strong-dark-Trappist in autumn and winter-at cellar temperature-12°to 13°celsius

No, it is not the same museum! It is about 1,5 km apart.
-Oh yes. Extra nice Cavalry Museum in Amersfoort. Armoured Vehicles as well. Loved the disection of the Dutch Husar Busby . [I posted the pics somewhere on this Forum]
We intended to visit the Musée des Blindés/Tank Museum first.. but it turned out there was a huge miniature/modelling fair last weekend. Parking lot used for dynamic thing-activities. [Did that during the Cold War in Germany in the 80ies...]
😁😎. So...skipped that.
