Brugge, Belgium

Around five, six, weeks ago, I travelled to Brussels, by train, where I was supposed to meet Veerle (my 'African' friend from school). We enjoyed ourselves in the capital of Belgium that day till we had to take the last train towards Brugge, where she and her parents live. Brugge's whole centre is UNESCO heritage, and there are lots of café's, bars and pubs, so I stayed for a couple of days :) It was a kind of cold, but I enjoyed some home-cooked Belgium meals, some movies, lots of Belgium specials, Veerle's (/everybody's) company and Brugge itself. So, thanks guys!

Tourists in all kinds and sizes

Mhmm. They came up with a couple of hundred Belgium special beers. Hot waffles with sugar. Chips. And Belgium chocolate, mixed in this pancake on at least three different ways!
Right now I'm at my parents place, where I did spend my Christmas days, and the ones around them. Soon I'll be in the train to Delft, where I need to get some things done, pack some other things, and than I'll get into a bus for the whole night to.... London!! I don't need to work this whole week, and Veerle arrived there yesterday, so we're gonna have some more fun in the United Kingdom. Till Sunday.
By the way, is spend with a 't' or a 'd' ?

Maastricht, kringweekend 2.3

Finally the pictures of that weekend with my biblestudy group. Nr. 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 were shot by me, myself and I.



Pure enjoyment, this beautiful lady

Maastricht, and 7 of us

Our present (as found at the attic of my house, 2 minutes before we left) with the poem, for the ladies, to thank them for their hospitality. It had something to do with knights, hills, horses etc.

New personal record

Wauw.
I was pretty tired the last few weeks, and last night (1.00 am) I decided to nót set an alarm. This 'morning' when I opened my eyes, thinking, 'Ok, now I feel like I've slept enough', reaching for my phone to check the time, I barely believed it: 14.40...
I checked the time earlier, that was when one of my roommate's, Henrik, was going through my clothes laying on the floor, in search of the key of his bike, around 8.45 am. But between that moment in time, and about an hour ago, there's nothing but a heavenly black hole...

Hi there.

No work today. Just studying, (so) I found some time to edit the pictures in the post about Belgium. They're bigger now.
Last week I visited Veerle in Bruge, Belgium, for some days. Together we discovered Brussels, and she showed me all the good things of her city Bruge. As always, pictures are on their way. And now I am on my way to a wet and windy football practice.
