Novotel Maastricht

... wasn't my favourite day of the trip so far would not be an exaggeration. My host family, especially Goele, were fantastic though, and really supported me throughout. Another host family, the Bijnens family, have also been great, visiting and organising things, and I also had a visit today from my first host-mother, Nicole.<br><br>I spent the night in hospital, with some blessed IV painkillers, and they also started some IV antibiotics. On Wednesday morning I was still in pain, so ...

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

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 ...

... and Matias it was a bit more than they had bargained for since they had come to germany alot more island pace, slowly cruising sixty to eighty km/day. For me it was slow ass hell after coming to Cologne from Rostock in less than four days. It appeared to be great though and after the first day of pushing it, we took it easy. Good choice for my knees and ankles and honestly the amount of pot and greasy food we consumed it would have ...

... have had all sorts of swings and climbing frames; seesaws and jumping castles. We play soccer and boules and have our own kite to fly. We watched the big bike race in France: Le Tour de France and searched for the fabled Loch Ness Monster in the Scottish lakes where we saw adorable Highland Cows. We visited a miniature village where we walked around like giants and dressed up like Dutch people in the olden days. Love from Macayle and Dylan Guerin; Dag! Adios!

Monday we took a field trip to the Margraten cemetery a short bus ride away. It is the only U.S. war Memorial cemetery in the Netherlands and has 8301 WWII soldiers buried there. I decided to take a picture of myself, sorry for the close up. it was a nice place and rained on and off. i'm used to carrying my umbrella with me everywhere i go now because you never ...

... Belgium&#8217;s two greatest commodities. After we picked our lunch items from the one-third of the supermarket aisles dedicated to groceries, Amber got side-tracked admiring the second third of the aisles, all dedicated to chocolate, while I went AWOL in the last third of the supermarket, eyeing off all the shelves stocked with beer. <br><br>We cycled back the way we came to return once again to The Netherlands ...

... natuurlijk een jaar lang niet zien. Ik vraag me nu al af hoe het gaat zijn als ik terugkom. Vooral naar studiekeuzes van vrienden, hoe mijn broers en zussen er gaan uitzien over een jaar, ...<br><br>Ik ben er dus volledig klaar voor. Koffer is gepakt (en ik hoop dat ik ook alles bij heb) en zit niet over de maximum limiet van het gewicht. Moet je ook kunnen: een jaar weggaan en maar 20 kg meenemen. Al zou ik het liefst met al mijn hebben en houden ...
