Van Der Valk Hotel Brussels Airport Diegem

... wind dies down, honestly! We have six hours to wait in Heathrow, where we will buy stuff that's either cheaper or more familiar than stuff in Brussels, we will eat something (farewell weight watchers, knew my trousers wouldn't be baggy for long..), probably take the mickey out of English travellers in their football shirts and sit in the lounge and write on the blog.<br><br>Very excited about going to Thailand!!

... the city centre to see some more of Brussels and figure out Bruges the following day. We saw more of the city, and went to a chocolate museum with testers (YUM!), and watching a demonstration. We browsed around the MASSIVE Sunday markets, and even found this cool secondhand market that was great fun and interesting to look through. We also were determined to find this "Manneken Pis" statue which is a statue of a little boy taking ...

... more. So, that will kill two birds with one stone.&#8221; <br> &#8220;Well, that&#8217;s very clever,&#8221; Veronica told Marvin. <br> &#8220;Now, tell us about your day, Rebecca,&#8221; Veronica said. <br> &#8220;Well, as you know, mommy, I&#8217;m going to be a real doctor like you, not a mad scientist like somebody I know,&#8221; Rebecca started, and then stuck her tongue out at her brother. <br>

... even apologise, he basically said it was MY fault - There were like...crying babies infront of us - I was sick after first descent, first time ever plane sick, and with other ppl. Euch, embarrassing! Anyway...i'll move on...so at Bruxelles, we picked up our bags, and showed our passports and walked on through. We walked through some doors, and expected customs, but no, we walked through to see people waiting for us. Man, we were all ...

... left to do in Amsterdam, we decided we could make the 10:56 train. There was some very quick packing and we bolted for the train station. We were running at the end, but made it with a minute to spare as we got settled on our train. Fortunately, we had the foresight to purchase our ticket the prior day when we returned from Tulip Watch 2008. The 2 and one-half hour train trip was fairly cramped but uneventful. A few windmills were spotted. Every time I ...

... chestnut and linden with occasional large conifers. Sometimes there are only three or four individuals of a species (e.g. Liriodendron tulipifera) or there may be hundreds (Ps. menziesii) Size: the arboretum itself occupies about 100 ha but the total forested area is considerably larger Age:arboretum established 1902, surrounding forest managed ...

... yet that I will leave tomorrow. My travel agency seems to have been rather negligent so that i have to pick up the ticket from their office tomorrow before going to the airport. That is if there IS a ticket! So this travel blog might actually come to a premature end tomorrow...

... health policy combined with the proximity of the nearby European Union institutions I am conveniently positioned to witness and participate in the activities that affect the decisions that will ultimately affect the health and well-being of EU citizen. While in the beginning of February I had to become accustomed to the inner workings of the EU government and the different health-related policies, the whole process has been enlightening. I am continually impressed with how in-tune ...

... choice of apparel for this boiling climate. I made my way to the first hostel on the map, and realised that the plan to just rock up to Brussels on a Friday night and expect a hostel dorm bed was probably wrought with stupidity. No vacancy here. However, i made my way to the 'Van Gogh' hostel some blocks away, cursing my heavy load and sweating like an absolute chafer, sensing that this walk was going to be futile, and that this mob, too, would most certainly be ...

... opportunity along the way, but to tell you the truth i LOVE to plan. I will always read lots of books before leaving, I will print out road maps and I will calculate how much money I can spend a day. My name is Thorgal67, and PREPARATIONS is my middle name ! So far this kind of travelling has always impressed people, because most of the time I arrive at my place of destination on time. Next week I'll post some more.
