Bed & Breakfast Arthouse Veurne

Back from Belgium! Our weekend began on Friday at gross o' clock in the morning (aka 4:45 AM). Though the hour was unpleasant, spirits were high, and we practically ran to the bus station– partly out of excitement, partly out of fear that we’d miss our 5:30 bus to the train station in Venray. Once in Venray, we ran into a myriad of h...

After an early start and on to the ferry we arrived in France to start our journey to Yrpes.


First stop was for coffee in Beuges but when we arrived the markets wer eon. They were awesome, fresh fruit and veg, clothes, me3at , jewelry you name it they had it. We wandered around town listening to the bell tower ringing out ( often o...

So went over the pond to Brugge, Belgium for lunch which i still havn't gotten over the concept that going to another country for lunch and being home for dinner is a regular thing lol!! Brugge is beautiful the houses and buildings are so old some dating back to the 1400's and 1500's. They have carriages and horses that gives tours. So for luch ...

Hello again nearest and dearest,

Let's see, I left off with my adventure in Antwerp on a scavenger hunt...my team won and we received some pretty awesome "milk" glasses.

Classes started this week. Blows. 3 hours of class is only a god idea in theory. But let's rewind to this past Sunday. The group took a trip to Bruges, this a...

So,

I've visited Jordan 3 times last year and it was a wonderful experience. We only booked a flight and traveled around by taxi. We found a very nice taxi driver in Aqaba. His name is Mohammad Alnawasra and you can contact him on his mobile phone 00962795761196. I can realy recommend him, because he's very helpful and friendly.

First time...

Bruges was an amazing city! The group arrived by bus around 7 pm after our outing to Ghent. We were just dropped of in the middle of the city and still had to walk to our hostel. So we designated a group leader and marched through the streets of Bruges to the hostel we were staying (called Charlie Rockets). It was fairly easy to find, and on the...

I woke up this morning on a mattress on the hostel lawn looking directly up at a fairly sunny Belgian sky, feeling substantially hungover as a result of last night's wild times. But i certainly wasn't alone, as the rest of the Aus-yank contingent gripped their respective foreheads and grimaced at the preponderence of natural light hitting us wit...

Veurne Arrived from England via France in the early evening. Beatiful town, ice-skating and beer drinking in the town square, lots of old buildings. Very strange not knowing a word of Flemish..... suddenly we were in Belgium. Stayed in a lovely place run by a sweet young couple. Put on a fabulous breakfast set us up for the day. Had a good look...

One of the reasons I stayed in this hostel was that it advertised a free breakfast. I was not disappointed. It wasn't really a hot breakfast, but there was toast, drinks, some kind of sugary bread, and sandwich food. Sandwich food meant I made a ham and cheese sandwich for lunch. I really don't spend much on food. I've found that a sandwich for ...
