Belgian drivers didn't really like us being on their roads. It's a hard mentality to switch off once it's been honked into you.
(To quote friendly Belgian guy "like you say cycle touriste, we call them cycle terrorists. They ride in the road, sometimes abreast and in big numbers, and you can't overtake them so you have to drive slowly behind them. They should be in the cycle lanes". This attitude repeated all through Netherlands and Germany but not in lovely lovely France)
