Monday saw the numbers dwindling down to four, three, two, and finally just Sylvie.  On Monday morning I was awake before 7. I always have this phobia of waking up late on the day I have to be at the airport, but as usual, I ended up waking long before I was supposed to. But it gave me time …

I had been out playing golf most of the morning in Brabrantse golf club and we had wonderful weather all morning and I was already looking forward to meet my friends Babs and Maxime for lunch after my brief stop at the 19th hole with my friend David. I went back to my apartment after golf and cal…

As every article has told us, the recent European elections were a sweeping victory for the centre-right and the far-right across Europe, and the left are tongue-tied. By naming a few examples you can show the socialists losing seats in power and in opposition. But is this actually a fair character…

Durbuy is situated on two sides of the river 'Ourthe'. In the past, I went kayaking on this river. The many rapids make it an adventurous undertaking. In the last couple of days, a lot of rain has fallen as well as 10cm of snow, all of which has melted. This made the river run even more rapid. …

Finally I went to sleep to the main room, between Ashish and Sylvie. Sylvie don't let me sleep so much, he he he, I try to make a movie (2º TB X-Movie) but Kornifalig didn't leave me :( Sylvie you're a lucky girl! :D Maths lesson: Alcohol + No sleep =.............................HEADACHE! Fin…

Finally Sylvie suggested to have a meetup in her beautifull city Antwerp. For me this came as a surprise! I remember her words quite clearly after the Amsterdam meetup, 'I will never going to organise such a meetup at my place'. After different attempts to convince her otherwise I gave up. She didn…

A few weeks ago we came up with the idea to suprise mandy when she comes back in europe with a meetup on her birthday. A lot of travbuddys where involved in this secret. Not one of us could talk normal on TB, because mandy was not allowed to sence anything of our secret. So only talking on pm and t…

A few weeks ago I was talking with Gejah about not having a meet-up in May. She said then, why not having a meet-up in Brussel with a few TB's on may 9th? Because then is Mandy coming back from New Zealand and it will be her 20th birthday. But it must absolute be a secret for Mandy. So not creating…

This is my third meetup that i am attending overseas and I couldn't go there and back without having issues with my flights haha... In JFK I encountered something I have never heard of before, and didn't think was even possible... but nothing is impossible when you are talking about Delta Airlines.…

Yesterday we had the Meetup in Antwerp. 28 degrees, shops all over the place, great people, tasty wine so we had a great time. :D After a little hour by car we arrived the sunny city of Antwerp. It's only 11.00 and already 24 degrees which is very uncommon for this area in this period. B…

My last evening in Bruxelles - went for a walk around town. I was very particular that I capture Grote Markt in all its night glory. Here it is.... :-)

I had to go back to Brussels, before going to Holland. Why? Well, my big bag was storaged there for the last couple of days, hehehe. I picked it up and went to look for the next train to Roosendal. There were one right away, so I didn't have to wait long. In Roosendal, made a connection and to…

Before 9 May, Gejah told me she is preparing a surprise birthday celebration meetup for Mandy when Mandy arrives in Brussels after her long vacation in Aussy and NZ. So we have to communicate under "PM" - private message.On the day, 9th May, we were all ready for this special meetup event;) We had …

So last night I was contemplating whether I should set an alarm to wake us up before check out or not. I decided against it and figured we wouldn’t sleep that long. Well no need for an alarm when your hotel is right outside the cathedral and the bells start going off at 9am on the dot for 15 minu…
