I left Normandy for Bruge to meet the Belgians friends who i met in Egypt. Nancy and Jan. The day before i was to leave i bought a ticket to Bruge. The ticket said "liege centrum'"; or something i like that. I thought that was the name of Bruge station in French, Danish or Flemish or whatever they speak in Belgium.

The train went back to Paris, I almost went back to FIonas house but thought better and got the connecting train to Bruge. I got off at the central station and caught the 1 bus into the main square, where the Belgiums said they would meet me. I even checked at the bus info and checked that the stop they told me "belfort'" was on the way.

So im on this bus still with my bloody posters. I get off at the main square and look around a. Paris Nord train station
a. Paris Nord train station
 . Where are they i thought. I looked at the big sign with a big map and it said Leige city map. Hmmm i thought. I called the Belgians and said where am i. My phone cut out so i checked my lonely planet map of belgium. I had a bad feeling leige wasnt bruge. I was correct when i found liege on the right side of beligium. After i got a packed bus back to the main station i recieved a msg from the belgiums saying have a nice trip. So i assumed they werent going the wait the 2 hours it would take me to get to bruge.

Stuff them i thought. I will go to brussels. It was getting late and the only trains to anywhere were really only to brussels. Not my fault i got given a ticket to liege. I got to brussells, found and found an internet cafe at 8pm.
