... city. Awesome architecture and canals winding around the city, as I took tons of pictures as always and just enjoyed the city.

Apparently Brugges had a movie made recently with it as a location; I'll have to check it out sometime. The main "art" piece I saw was a Madonna with Child from -the- Michaelangelo from Italy. It was quit nice, as were the countless other paintings and sculptures I saw in that ...

... is the largest collection of musical instruments in the world, and for only 4 euro (with a student card discount), I spent a good couple of hours visiting the hundreds and hundreds of musical instruments, which automatically play 2 or 3 short pieces through your wireless headphones as you walk around the different exhibits. -

It was "fun" (quote marks intended for ...

Tuesday 29th July - Thursday 31st July 2008 Rijnsburg, Holland Tuesday was our last day out in The Netherlands. We went to visit the old windmills situated in Zaanse Schanse. This is the oldest industrial site in the world, where a few old working windmills still remain. We went into 'The Cat' windmill which is used for making coloured dyes. Unfortunately the stones inside weren't turning as it wasn't windy enough, but the sails were going ...

... The first thing that all of us noticed about Lisbon was how lovely and warm it is. It was so nice to be able to take a walk outside without putting on hats, scarves, thermals, coats etc etc. We went for a walk around the neighbourhood, soaking up the atmosphere of the Alfama district. This area is famous as the birthplace of fado music, a melancholy form of singing that is distinctly Lisbon. A quick stroll around our apartment revealed numerous fado bars and restaurants. We ...

My previous visit to Iceland dates back from winter 2004. It was a short guided tour along Iceland's Golden Circle. I remember the tour guide asking ''What do you see?'', after we set off and left Reykjavik behind us. I looked out of the window but what I saw was mostly a bare landscape. I didn't dare saying there was nothing, thinking I would offend his country in some kind of way. But it was exactly ...

... sleep more early. ----------- March 5 I slowly woke up and it's by the end of the afternoon that I was meeting with Pascal (HC: playschool) who was doing a train transfer in Brussels to return to Paris and had some hours to kill in town. So I went to join him and we took a fast walk in town before having a drink and some fries. We mostly talked about HC, what is happening and the whole inside politics of the website... and the cause of the creation ...

... to the Jubelpark...wow!). ------------------------ July 14 Quiet and hot day below the sun, I got up early and went to the old flat to have breakfast with Achim and Jurgen who were waking as well. Later by the morning, I walked with Jurgen to the spot where he was starting his hitch-hiking journey in direction of Liege by departing at the highway entrance nearby Jubelpark. When I passed there later by midday he was still there just chilling in the grass so we talked some ...

... station-downtown I found the hostel and it was full. I went back to take the train and got stuck in Roosendal... before at last reaching Antwerpen. I called Gil and now I'm going to Brussels. Once there, I thought of Gil a lot and think of another place to go. Ohhh the funny thing is that the next room is giving a funny 'loud' show.

... meet the best!! I'm anxious and looking forward for it! I'm thinking of her all the time!! I took the GoPass of Veerle and will reimburse her. I missed again another train to Leuven and called Gil to tell her with a bad phone. So after some difficulty to meet at the station I finally spend the night with her... lovely angel!! I love her. We walked a bit searching for the klein Begijnhof and finished in a park.Watched Tv and I slept there ;)!! That was just all great!
