Europe

So I was lucky enough to spend this easter in Belgium this year, and I must say, Belgium sure did deliver! Not only was it very ascetically beautiful as a country, it also has some of the worlds best indulgences: chocolate, beer, waffles and mussels! I really cannot compare this country to anything other than Homer Simpson’s magical animal.

Homer: Are you saying you’re never going to eat any animal again? What about bacon?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Ham?
Lisa: No.
Homer: Pork chops?
Lisa: Dad, those all come from the same animal.
Homer: Heh heh heh. Ooh, yeah, right, Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal.

In this world wind adventure, I started in Brussels for 2 nights, then took the train to Gent for an evening. Next day took the train to Antwerp and stayed another evening and finally spend my last night in Bruges.

My personal highlight was Bruges. I loved that city… well after 6pm when the tourists went away. I remember walking form the train station to my hostel and hardly saw a soul. When I got to my hostel, check in, still a very quite city. Wandered off into the central part and BOOM, tourists everywhere! It was funny to see, but hard to get good photos because people were everywhere. I did end up taking a train towards Oostende in Belgium which is right on the North Sea and dipped my feet in. It was damn cold, but refreshing.

Over 1000 photos and 22GB of data later, I have my trip documented. Lots of the photos need to be touched up and fixed, but that will come in time.

Anyway, it was a great trip and awesome. I’ll get the photos up soon enough, I’m still going through them.
