Holiday Inn Gent Ghent

... window on the way, listening to my ipod looking out the window. By the time I got out of the train at Brugges, and walked along countless other tourists (insane, and this is WINTER), the sun had peeked out a bit.

By the time I was walking into the main historical center, I had beautiful weather. Nice rays of sunshine giving me some beautiful lighting for pictures and just admiring the beauty of ...

... riding the bus with my huge backpack. Things always seem tougher and the rides longer when I have to haul it around with me. I won't miss it that much, I'm afraid. Anyways, it was acutally only about a 10 minute bus ride to the area where Johanna lives,and I found her apartment right away.

I greeted her and we had some really nice conversation, and she made some delicious ...

Yesterday we cycled through hedgerows full of berries and flowers surrounded by various nut trees, just the place to find Mrs Tiggywinkle, all the Brambly hedge mice and other assorted children's characters. We saw various assorted art pieces as we rode along, some lovely, some simply bizarre.
LikeTopsy our short ride just grew and grew and our ...

... d'autres gens ce soir, ce qui serait bien: j'aime rencontré de nouvelles personnes! L'Internet à l'auberge n'est pas gratuit et les postes d'accès ne permettent pas l'utilisation d'une clé USB alors vous allez devoir attendre pour avoir de mes nouvelles! Je crois que l'internet à mon auberge à Paris est gratuit, il me semble qu'ils ont WiFi... Je vous donnerai de mes nouvelles autour du 15 donc. =) 15 août 2007 [Ok, donc le 13, il y a un gars qui est ...

Hello, After a good breakfast, a visit of Ghent today. This city is really magnificent. Some highlights (Have a look at the pictures for more comments on the attractions visited...): Awesome canals everywhere Nice architecture Medieval castle (Castle of the Counts), with its nice Guillottine Nice Grande Place Impressive Cathedral (Sint-Baafsplein Cathedral) I also liked the fact that, even for a touristy city, it's still feels like a local's place. Some of the items than ...

... to talk to a 4th generation master chocolatier and he showed us the steps taken to make Belgium chocolates. As he explained it, the real quality comes in the fillings and many quality choclatiers like himself use well-guarded secret recipes for the fillings to create chocolate that stands out from the crowd. Brussels - I can still taste you...and you taste good. Just keep that crazy naked Manneken away from the beer.

... at his place for my journey in Europe. Sadly, as I didnt eat I got somewhat hungry but its been ok as I managed to go to sleep. ------------------------------ July 13 The wake up call was horribly early before 7am and with a fast preparing, Frank drove me to a near bus station on the way in Vilvoorde so that I could reach Brussels until the Jubelpark to meet with Jurgen around 9am. I made it and Jurgen arrived as well after having slept at Mathilde's place and so we both ...

... this made it all the much cooler because in Brugge, one of the old dungeons was underneath a hotel and they had converted it into a function room. I went down there and it was full of stacks of chairs and folded tables. Some of the stories from this castle were really interesting: placards explained the torture methods used by the Flemish, which are not very nice at all. The worst one was a manacle that went round the neck. Within the circle were hundreds of razor sharp ...

... It was a cold wet grey day. I came back to the hostel, read and slept. I miss her and I'm scared. I love her so much and the fact that I'm living so far... we never really talked about it. I hate that I have to do everything, she has all her things and I'm in the shadow and I stay in it. I'm really attach to her... and I wonder how it will ever work out. --------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- ----------- December 7 I ...
