... decided that my appendix, gall bladder, stomach, intestines, liver, kidneys, lungs and heart were all OK, the doctors decided that I should stay the night for observation. I should say that my pain had continued to worsen throughout the day to the point where, whenever I had to lie flat for a CT or for them to poke at me, I would scream in pain (sorry mum!). I had also eaten nothing all day, and drunk almost nothing but the contrast liquid, and had no pain killers. So to say that ...

During our stay in Spa we had the most scary, horrible, unpleasant experience ever in a restaurant.<br><br>The restaurant to avoid is "Le Bouchon Gourmand", the owner does not hesitate to insult customers, lock them into the restaurant if there is a dispute on the bill, and claim more money than is due. <br><br>See more on www.bouchon-gourmand.blogspot.com

... nice and made me feel good. Then, when I was cooking some dinner, she came up and gave me a blanket, sheet set, and some tea candles. She also has given Nil a wooden spoon, a strainer, and two dish towels for me. Isn't that sweet??? I thanked her tons and gave her a hug when she left. So now I have a few less items to buy to make my new place feel like home.<br><br>Well Nil just got home and she is going to eat a bit of food with Markus and ...

One of the teachers that I assist couldn't be here at all this week, and he asked me if I felt comfortable taking over his class for the week. I said I would, and this weekend he emailed me some information about what to do and discuss in class. <br><br>Our topic today was "If you had the power to change the world, what would you change?" The students are to write their own first chapter of a book entitled "Ecotopia." Today we ...

... They told us we were at the highest point in Belgium, which was somewhere in the Nature Park.<br><br>We decided to call it a day for the roadbook, and make a detour to just get into Luxembourg for fuel, and to make sure we 'did' all the countries.<br><br>Looking back that detour cost us some time, but did mean we visited Luxembourg, even if it was too dark to see it.<br>

... on.<br><br>We stopped at one point, because the roadbook wasn't very clear, at which point Gaz and Charlotte came up behind us. They had been left behind by the V8s, as they were in a Series vehicle, so we said we'd stick with them.<br>At this point, Kieran noticed a strange noise from our engine, which was duly investigated by James. It was diagnosed as the fan belt tensioning pulley. But we didn't do anything about it at the time.<br>

... ticket clerk, I got the "jon ay ploo". Luckily the chap did tell me which normal train would get me there. Very decent of him. Liège-Guillemins station is a bit of a building site. It is one of those fantastic buildings with a roof that is a massive swooping curve of a construction. In fact the building looks like some kind of space ship or UFO. The Belgian railways are pretty much ...

... at my partner's best friend's house, which happened to be where one of my best friends was staying...convenient! We had a wok party...random but fun...and attempted to teach her dogs english. During the week I was the lab assistant's assistant at our host school, so I did a bit of fetching and carrying, learnt the names of a lot of random chemicals in french, and went to other peoples' science lessons since a lot of the time since there wasn't that much that ...

... rentes du reste de la ville, comme si en y pénétrant nous étions transportés dans un petit village. Liège abrite également de nombreuses églises comme la collégiale Saint-Barthélémy aux couleurs très vives et la cathédrale Saint-Paul. Après tant de marche, nous sommes heureuse de prendre un petit moment à l'intérieur pour voir les Galleries Saint-Lambert et terminer la journée par une bonne collation : une gauffre liégeoise !

(Originally published at http://www.troysgonewalkabout.com)<br>< br>The slight morning drizzle did not hamper us from exploring the centre of Maastricht, and it felt nice to be amongst the local goings-on in the busy market square. But, although we were enjoying being in the midst of life on the other side of the world from where we were born and raised, Amber and I soon got a surprise reminder of home. In a park on ...
