After lunch we drove out to the actual battlefield. We saw the Lion’s Mound with the statue of a lion on a grassy hill sticking high up in the air. We took pictures as we drove closer and closer and ended up in a crowded, tiny parking lot that was filled with puddles of water and wasn’t even paved for mysterious reasons despite the fact that it was the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo. We got out and tried to locate a museum or shop. There wasn’t any. Who knew where the underground visitors' center was? Nothing told you or directed you, and I wouldn’t want to go underground either come to think of it. That doesn't sound very appropriate. There was a sloppy looking restaurant but no W/C. From the car as we drove back to Genval where we were staying we took photos of the battlefield in the distance. There was also a battlefield monument without a label that you could read especially in the rain. We'll have to look it up. Napoleon would have been scandalized and envied General Washington his Valley Forge National Park in King of Prussia outside Philadelphia. There everything is so well-labeled it flies out and hits you without any effort at all. Everything is paved and easy to drive to.
