Belgium

Q. How many forms of public transport does it take to get to Belgium ??

A. Just about everything ever invented well lets not be silly and include space ships in this but everything else! – Car, Bus, Train, Metro, Shuttle, Plane, Taxi

I had an awesome time in Brussels , it was great to see someone that I actually knew – and that spoke English =) (How is it that I keep ending up in places that don’t speak the language I do?!? The have 3 national languages there FFS and not one of them is English!! What are they thinking!) The plane ride there was horrible, it was a million degrees we were all crammed in like sardines (I know what did I expect) Ah but the worst part was the screaming baby!! 2 hours of solid screaming! How is that possible?!?

Helen, Chloe and I went to Bruggs and had a poke around and saw some old church and went for a boat ride on the canals which was fun until it started raining =S That night Chloe, Diego (Chloes boyfriend) and I went out. We had a good night ended up drinking cocktails… =S and then going to a sheesha bar. That was interesting it’s a big pipey thing? (looks kinda like a vase really) that has a tube coming from the bottom that you smoke. It has water in the bottom so makes bubbly sounds and somewhere there’s tobacco flavoured like apples… mmm…

Chloe had her prom on the Monday night so I got to see her looking all pretty. Helen tried to make her hair curly with rollers and stuff but as soon as they came out it was dead straight again. How unfair she wants curly hair and can’t have it I want straight hair and can’t have it – where is the justice??? Anyway she looked great and said she had a good night.

So yea didn’t really do much else. Saw the Manikin Pis - got a photo of it pissing on my head, rubbed the angel face that gives you good luck (giving the angels feet a wide berth – they’re meant to help you get pregnant) and saw the main squarey thingy – what’s it called?? Something in French. (See I can’t keep up with all these languages!)

And yay!! I have a laptop now. =) very exciting. Haven't quite got it connected to the internet yet but am working on that. And in the mean time I can watch DVDs and stuff.

We've had a few dramas around here since I got back, Susys been away (she's on holiday in Egypt – as you do) Rose had colic from windsucking too much!! So now has a collar and a muzzle on all the time although it still doesn’t stop her. And Avas had a swollen leg from galloping. Oh good times.
