Hotel Husa De La Couronne Liège

... in Australia, been stamped with the visa (thanks Court!) and is now wending its way express back to me (cross your fingers and toes that it arrives safely early next week!!).<br><br>Afterwards I caught the train to Genk to meet one of my host families from my exchange, the Bollen family, but by the time I changed trains in Leuven, I could barely stand staight and really couldn't hold my luggage up anymore - other passengers helped me onto the train. I was a little better during ...

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 ...

Hi all,<br><br>Had a pretty lazy Sunday. I know that tomorrow is going to be very busy so I just wanted to relax today. Had apple strudel ala mode for lunch, haha. Then we had a turkish dish for dinner. It was chicken wings and sliced potatoes on a pan lightly smothered in tomato sauce with lots of spices and garlic. It was pretty good! I just dont like the skin or fat on chicken, and I dont like ...

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 ...

... 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>

... time. That means that some people were eating while other people were done. It was weird, because they knew we were coming and we even had our food pre-ordered, so they knew what dishes to make. I guess it was because we were such a large group, about 80 people.<br><br>After lunch we took a walking tour of the city. They split our large group into three smaller groups to make it more managable. The city is ...

Ok, obviously I'm not still there, but I thought it'd be pointless and irrelevant to show you all a map entry of my hometown! And since it was a while ago, this is more of an overview, but hopefully still an accurate one! So work experince, this was an exchange set up by my college, but instead of just trailing our partners round school all day everyday, it was decided that we were ready to branch out into the world of work! So we left the UK from Hull on the ferry ...

Malgré le temps pluvieux, je pars aujourd'hui à l'exploration de Liège avec une amie. L'agglomération de Liège compte environ 476 000 habitants et est la 3e agglomération la plus peuplée de Belgique après celle de Bruxelles et d'Anvers. Elle est située sur la Meuse, à proximité des Pays-Bas, de l'Allemagne et du Luxembourg. Liège semblait être peuplée dès la Préhistoire, mais la ville fut fondée aux alentours de 700 suite à l ...

... 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 ...
