After waking-up we drove to Mons in order to visit the city park of Mons. In this city park we took our lunch and have enjoyed the summer temperature in the shadow of the trees. In the city park there was a big playground and a lot of sports equipments.
By Kortrijk we lost our break power, and we don't known why. We went forward on small streets in order to reach a camping site at the North Sea coast of Belgium. We have already reached this camping site even though only one eighth of our break power has been existed.
On the next day an car mechanic have helped us to fix the problem with the break, only a screw has been released holding the break tube.
The rest of the day we have enjoyed the wonderful weather at the beach of DePanne.
We have learned more about our truck and enjoyed a wonderful summer holiday day.
