Holiday Inn Liege Liège

... br>So, that's been the last couple of weeks. I now have to wait and see how I recover, and also whether or not the insurance company feels that it is too much of a risk for me to continue on to China before heading back to Australia. I can go to the UK, since apparently there is a reciprocal pûblic health agreement there with Australia, so they wouldn't really be at risk there anyway. I have the stitches out next week, and I will no longer go to Ireland, since I have missed a week of ...

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

... and it was despensing mineral water! haha something I have never seen before.<br><br>So the lady said that I should have electricity by tomorrow. I am going to pay 25 euros a month, flat rate. At the end of my usage they will calculate how much I actually used and ask me for more money or give me some back, depending on if I payed too much or too little each month. I am going to try to use my 'lectric sparingly so I can get money back at the ...

After popping into and out of Germany, we were now back in Belgium. It was beginning to get a bit dark, and we still had at least 200 miles left to drive.<br><br>Gaz's motor was struggling, and threatening to overheat, so we stopped to let it cool down.<br><br>With the vehicles all decorated with stickers, we attracted a bit of attention, and a Belgian couple took our ...

Once in Elsloo, we stopped to find postcards (having completely missed the observations again), only to find that the only card shop was closed that afternoon.<br><br>Up the road a bit, and Kieran was dropping a card into the door of a Landy enthusiast they had met on the recce. The guy turned up at that moment, and so we were invited in for a refreshing cold drink. The Landyprikkers overtook us at that point, and went on their way. We then ...

... statue to Charlemagne. This particular stone depiction of the horse-mounted, sword-wielding Frank proudly proclaimed Liege as birthplace of Europe's father, though much debate remains as to Charlemagne's hometown. This statue-and its claim-illustrated much about the Belgian and French obsession with their 9th century leader and their contemporary mindset. Francophone Benelux prides itself as the ambassador of Europe and is quick to draw comparisons between the EU ...

... chocolate cake you have ever seen! Unfortunately the ferry crossing back was a little rough and only 2 of us were in any fit state to even contemplate eating chocolate cake, and since it wasn't our cake we decided it would be rude. The following morning however, she decided to cut it up and share it out...aaaawww, bless! The journey back was also particularly eventful as one of the girls drank a little too much vodka and started threatening to throw herself ...

On our quest to get to Cherbourg(where the ferry leaves for Ireland) we find out that it is not possible to do that night, so we decide to try to get as close as possible to our destination(since we have a unlimited train pass) once back in brussels we quickly head off to Liege. Here we go out and eat a soupe aux poireau... yummy. Back on the train and off to Namure!

... it must be said that after riding over 50km in the day it was not a comfortable finish to proceedings, our numb bums not appreciating leaving the smooth bitumen roads for the cobbled streets of Maastricht&#8217;s centre. <br><br>We rested on our sore rear-ends for the evening at an Indonesian restaurant. Another of the drawbacks I&#8217;ve found about living in Europe is the lack of good South-East Asian food but ...
