Today I went to Liége. Liége is situated 90 km east of Brussels. The city i fairly large and the second largest  french speaking city in Belgium. Liegé is the pricipal economic and cultural centre of Wallonia. There are more than 470.000 inhabitants and today I think half of them were …

Many of us, Dutch people, only know Liège as a traffic bottle neck driving to the south of Europe……, second as a grey industrial town,………. well, that’s a memory from years and years ago. Highways are approved by now. And Liège worked very hard on her image J   Liège is on…

We spent the day today in Liege, once the capital of the highly religious prince-bishopric (985 CE to 1794 CE), then a booming industrial town, and now a heavily socialist French city, struggling to come to grips with the post-industrial age. Our tour guide was blunt: "You are lucky to be coming he…

We left Eric on the train to Brussels where his own little adventure was to begin and hopped on the next available train to Germany,

this isn't really a blog i must admit, its more a place to collect my pics from my travels this summer around Europe.

Lynn took over the late night driving duties and soon, we were in Liege Belgium.  But our lovely GPS lady was not accounting for the road construction and many closed exits which meant we were trying to detour.  No problem, except the human GPS, Brett Brett, was knocked out asleep in the …

I arrived at the airport in Holland and quickly made my way to the train station to avoid getting stuck out at the airport overnight. After getting my tickets and marking my destination of choice on them incorrectly (because i had special tickets that allowed me to mark in where i wanted to go…
