July 5th

Stan was suppose to bring me a tent so I waited before finishing packing as I was anyway thinking he would arrive in time and help me. Later on the day, I had no news from Stan but hurry to Brussel to get one of the camera I had seen the previous day and came back in a hurry to Leuven, prepared some food, pack some more but not completely has I was as usual lost in my things... no news from Stan and time was ticking away. He finally showed up late way to late and didnt really help me much with my things has he went to wait in the car waaaaaaah damn. I took my thing down and pack in the car while he was driving and decided not to take the tent anyway then. Of course he took the ring of Brussel in rush hour.... all these combine made me missed the check-in from 8 minutes in Charleroi airport. I was quite mad, sad and armless from all my motivation lost, my travel mood with the look forward to be on the road and also his attitude from the event without forgetting all the lost money. I received a good support from Leen about that!

And of course he wanted to hang around in Charleroi... what the... I just wanted to go lie down at home and think. Of course I endure his bad overfast driving thinking we could crash any moment and his teenager attitude when driving the citadelle of Namur has a crazy rally driver in the middle of the night. I reached home late, slept and the next day I decided that I couldnt anyway take it to loose everything and head back to Charleroi to pay a high penalty of 60 euros to finally get able to manage a seat on the plane of that evening. It was nevermind the money just go change your idea and I kicked away all this bad memory away and started freshly with a smile when I landed in Skavsta.
