Campanile - Liege Luik Liège

... took more blood and ordered yet another CT, this time of my actual stomach. When the CT showed nothing but the blood showed a higher level of infection than Tuesday, they decided to do a laproscopy. So there I was, in Belgium, in a hospital, being prepped by a Portuguese student nurse for surgery. I can't say I was overly happy... They put 3 little holes in my stomach and found that a part of my intestine was swollen. From this, they came to the conclusion that I must have some kind ...

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

... I was just wondering what kinds of problems I was going to have and how many times I was going to look stupid with my German and how ****** off I was gonna be when I got back tonight. I was scared. But, surprisingly and much to my relief, everything worked out just splendidly!<br><br>I hope tomorrow will be just as successful as today.<br><br><br><br><br>PS - I don't even have to go to Oktoberfest-this weekend there is a music festival in Aachen!!!

... br>2. hang up my flyers advertising my excellent proofreading skills (trying to make a little money on the side)<br>3. make a copy of my new apartment key for landlord<br>and and and...<br><br>WHEW!! all of this stuff has to get done sometime, I guess. I am just glad things are finally starting to come together, or at least they will have a little more by tomorrow night.<br><br>Going to bed for now!

... 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>

... longer I could pick up a difference in the accent people speak with. You are reminded you are not in France though when you hear announcements in Flemish and you remember that old divide that exists here in Belgium. I have never come across any actual trouble between the Flems and the Walloons. I have only ever heard it reported. I wonder where the dividing line between the two geographical areas is.

... the tradtional Belgian drink (think of it as Belgium's answer to vodka!), whilst we all had it as a fruit based mixer, they decided they where going to have shots of it...but these weren't normal shots, oh no, they came with flames on top! We also visited various monuments in Liège, and saw the outside of the royal ballet theatre and shopped in a very large famous bookshop whose name currently escapes me... We also went to the theatre one night (compulsory school ...

... house but thought better and got the connecting train to Bruge. I got off at the central station and caught the 1 bus into the main square, where the Belgiums said they would meet me. I even checked at the bus info and checked that the stop they told me "belfort'" was on the way. So im on this bus still with my bloody posters. I get off at the main square and look ...

... amazement we saw that the sign on the black iron fence above the enclosure confirmed it was indeed a &#8216;Tasmaanse Buidelwolf&#8217;.<br> <br>Perhaps in a bid to prevent the Dutch caging us up like our presumed-extinct local friend, we decided to flee from the Netherlands entirely, though just for the rest of the day. After hiring bicycles we had barely pedalled our way out of the western edge of the town before ...
