Dinant-Dec 30th.

Dinant-A Comedy Trip!

Our main aim to visit Dinant, which is a small place in Belgium was to see the Dinant Caves- Grotte De Marvellouise. We Started at 10:05 to get the 10:12 , but we did!! Success. The trip is usually 1:42 but we went to Dinant for about 2 hours and 45 min. WoW! The train generally gets split at Namur and one half goes to Liers and the other to Dinant. Poor we, dint know this and to add more to our luck , our compartment was the last one after the slpit and we happily went to Liers. Only during the way and as time ran we found out that the place we were going was no where near Dinant. Hence we were back to Namur and caught the train to Dinant after a yummy cup of Ben and Jerry's Vanilla With Toffee Crunch ice cream. The journey was quiet nice since we were four of us and time flew. All this trouble was only to see the Cave and the cave was famous for limestone/Calcium deposits. The cave is a 50 metre trail kind and has a narrow path with minimal light , best thing is that the guide was absent on the day we went. The cave looked very eerie but the deposits were seen clearly. The deposits are formed on the bottom and the calcium drips from the top of the cave to form just a small block for years. The limestone deposits seem so hard and it never moves. It looks just like stone.

The total 5 hour journey for a 30 min tour inside the cave. Super!! Anyways Dinant was a beautiful calm place with River Muese flowing over it and a extra ordinary fort on its back ground.
