Bye Bye Brugge... Hello London!
... a huge thank you to them both for being such gracious hosts, and for Jaey for inviting me there both times and being so kind and generous.
Alas, it was time for me to catch my train to Brussels then to London. The train ride was uneventful, and actually the eurostar is incredibly efficient. Once I arrived in London at Kings Cross, I met with Jamie/JC (I think I have mentioned him using both his name and nickname) and off we went during rush hour traffic on the tube and the commuter ...

Ghent is GOED (good)!
... wasn't poisoned and how he took a 28ish hour busride to get out of a town in Southeast Asia after being stuck there sick for 4 days. It was great.
