This was purely an opportunity of chance. We had changed banks for our business and as part of that we automatically received free tickets for the ING Formula 1 race in Belgium. The ING Bank are actually sponsors of this race and also sponsor one of the cars. The first we knew about all this was when the bank rang us saying we had won a prize to have free tickets to the VIP tent at the race. The tickets were for a special parking section nearby the race course and entry to the VIP tent...

The plan was to visit Fort Lancing first.  We heard this is the Fort the Germans used the “big Bertha” 420mm howitzer.  We get there early Sunday morning and we find out it doesn’t open until 1400.   Luckily I brought my ww 1 battlefield guide and a gps system.  We then decided to go to Fort Flamelle.  We get there and of course it is only open on Saturdays.  We did get to walk up and down the front of it though.  I got a couple pictures. &nb...

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 at the same market as I was. Liége is also called the daughter of the Meuse river or "La cité ardenté" (the fiery city). I remember coming in this city many years ago as one of my first stops o...

I got some VIP tickets from Toyota to the Belgian GP last september. For me it was the first time visiting the Formula 1 and it was awsome!!!! You just should hear the sound for real... it's not even close on what you hear and see on TV or anything else... Ofcource I was lucky to get a VIP treatment, the good drinks and diner etc was for free including a greet with Trulli and Schumacher from the Toyota team!

Here are pics from trips we have taken to Antwerp, Brussels, Brugge, and Mons.

For those you want to visit the small village where I grew up and lived till 2005, some pics to have an idea

Since I was always a Formula One fan I really wanted to visit a F1 Grand Prix. We decided to book a bustour + camping and entrance tickets for Spa-Francorchamps. We left from Eindhoven busstation and stayed at a camping not very far from the circuit. On friday we visited the training and that was probably the best day to visit, because it was not at all crowded and you could watch all around the circuit. The most amazing thing about Spa-Francorchamps is that there is so much nature, while wal...

Havent a clue what im supposed to put in here, the title is above and what happened during the weekend is in the blog itself!!

Basic huisje gehuurd bij EuroRelais. Wel met geweldig uitzicht en heerlijk rustige ligging. Kan er vanuit het huisje heerlijke wandelingen maken. Paar uitstapjes gemaakt,waaronder de grotten van Remouchamps, hike in Coo, lekker eten in Stavelot en shoppen in Spa (niet echt een winkel stad)

Terwijl we Maastricht uitreden kwamen we bordjes tegen van de “Mergellandroute”. Deze volgden we een tijdje, totdat we, na het passeren van een aantal plaatsjes, in Slenaken aankwamen. Hier weken we van de route af en gingen we richting Leuven dat in België ligt. Zodra we in België aankwamen merkten we meteen dat het wegdek slechter onderhouden was. Maar niet getreurd, dan rijden we maar iets langzamer. Zo kwamen we uiteindelijk in Eupen waar we probeerden een hotelletje te vinden om te...

During the day we didn't do much, but what do you want. It is vacation (^_^) Arround 19:00 hours we went for a "walk". We went up the trail we went before (the time I almost died from having no conditie). When we were at the top, we decided to go al little farther. We went down the hill from the other side, went by a farm and came to a sign. If we would go left we would go to Stavelot (a 55 minute walk). If we would go right we could go to Croix de Remiheid (a 15 minute walk),to Aisomont (a ...

When I was in living in Germany, Belgium was one of our favorite destination when my buddies and I are bored and got nothing better to do for the day.

We were trying to decide between Maastricht and Liege, and we went for Liege because it seemed like a bigger city, and therefore more likely to have places that were open for us to eat at/look in etc. HOWEVER, we drove to Liege, and once we got toward the center of the city of town, we had no idea what to look for. Everything was closed, there was nowhere to park, and everything was in French. None of us know any French…haha! So, we decide to head for the Cathedral we see in the cent...

Vandaag een eind gefietst door het heuvelachtige landschap van Limburg en daarna in België aangekomen waar we een goed hotel vonden.
