Finally. This extended weekend is spring. What do we say? Summer! The RMI predicts up to 25 degrees for Sunday. Again to eat ice cream, sit on terraces and light the barbecue. And to be stuck in traffic jams. On Thursday, Pairi Daiza became a victim of its own great success. At one point it took more than two hours to get to Brugelette. A visitor wrote on
On Wednesday evening, on the eve of the Ascension weekend, the Flemish Traffic Center already recorded the busiest evening rush hour of the year. With many people already heading towards the coast. They are, of course, very happy with the nice weather there. “The Ascension Day extended weekend is traditionally a highlight by the sea,” says Dirk Marteel of Westtoer. “This is the case again this year, especially with the good weather forecasts. This resulted in massive bookings. The hotels have an occupancy rate of 85 percent. So there are still some pictures available, but we notice that last-minute reservations are also going smoothly. It is a boost for the coast after a spring with a lot of bad weather.” (jvr, csn)
