Corinthia Antwerp

Every two years, the weather man declared, there are strong gales in the south of England, the type that disrupt train services, housewives lose their laundry drying on the line, umbrellas get blown inside out - and even trees are blown down. This was the day that we chose to fly to England. It's OK, the gales will die down sometime in the afternoon, said the same weather man, but not after we've flown over to ...

... of town, into a bar filled with statues of Jesus and saints. Which was just what I wanted, as the Christian monastery beers brewed in Belgium are the most alcoholic in the World. Deutsch and I had the "Rochefort 10", a bitter beer with 11.3% alcohol! Tow and Mich opted for less alcoholic varieties. Needless to say I wish I could get drunk this easily at home, and Deutsch is surprisingly more resistant to alcohol than he is with marijuana.

... sport I wanted to conquer on my ever expanding list). After a quick $12 euro train ride that lasted about an hour (aka: naptime), we were in Brugge, Belgium's "Venice of the North." Brugge is an exquisitely preserved medieval town that came into its own as a central port in the middle ages. We toured the Market center, walked the streets, eventually came across a quaint little hostel where we met a few other backpackers, and then started to enjoy the ...

Je viens d'avoir une réponse: Texto, ça dit: "Cher client, Le temps de connection demandé par la compagnie aérienne est de 1 heure, vous avez donc le temps nécessaire. Merci" Donc, à priori, quand on recherche les vols avec transfert, le temps de transfert demandé par les compagnies aériennes sont comptées dans les offres. (à bon entendeur...)

... Amsterdam hot on our minds. There are places in Brussels with over 4,000 kinds of beer on tap. Belgium is of course known for its chocolate and beer. We never had either. Instead we got back on the train and headed to the Netherlands. I'd like to return to Brussels with a bit more time...

... me the exact terms that I was willing to stay with (less work, more time to be) So, Im gonna pull this through the best that I can.. After all I do need the dough for that great voyage ahead of me. The greatest voyage of my life. The voyage which is my life. ---so Ive just added some more photos which I took lately, some are quite good..

... mentem Zottegembe, ahol az ismerős belga család felvett engem, s onnan nem messze laknak, ahol a következő heti szállásom volt. Egy kis falu, Brakelről van szó. A belga apuka a kortrijki egyetemen marketingtanár, az anyuka egy általános iskolai tanítónő, a fiúk pedig közalkalmazott. Általában vele indultam minden reggel a zottegemi pályaudvarra, s onnan minden nap más városba utaztam. Igen, egyedül. :-))

... mass I tried to get out the little side entrance I had come in, but they wouldn't let me. So I had to go through the military holding flags with the mayor and everyone. So when I got out the whole city was behind ropes cheering for everyone that was coming out. I felt really out of place, especially since I not even from Belgium. That night Andrew, Libby, Jacqueline and I went to a karoke bar. It was so funny. Andrew and I say California Dreamin' and at the end ...

... end of the stick with regards to watch group. The people assigned to work with me were major tools: one of the ladies brought seven pairs of shoes...on a BOAT! Since I was so tired from the previous week and a half of non-stop partying and staying up late for watch, I crashed at around 8 pm while everyone partied hard. This continued for a few days til I was good as new.

... vacation either! WATOU AND THE FLANDERS AREA After the De Dolles brewery we drove on to the little town of Watou. Watou sits very close to the French border, so we rented bicycles and biked into the French countryside, over to the neighboring town, and back to Watou. It felt great to be outside in the fresh air after so much driving. Along the way we saw lots of farmland including fields of corn and Swiss chard. We also saw several Catholic shrines ...
