Belgium

One of my best trips has been to Belgium. Partly it was due to the fact that the tour was made with some of my best friends, partly because our trip was planned in such a way that we could reach all the Trappist Abbeys were you can still find some of the oldest breweries in Europe, but it was also because we travelled with our old VW van that we called 'Dock' (as in "Sitting on the dock of the bay" by Otis Reding).

Here are some pictures of our tour.

After some 1.500 Km (c.a. 1.000 mi) we reached the far northest point in our trip: Oostende. Believe it or not, I am the guy with moustaches. . . don't you think I am just like Tom Sellek in 'Magnum PI' ?

Brugge, one of my favourites towns in Belgium. True it is somewhat too touristically exploited, but try its tipical beer: La Biere Blanche de Brugge. Every difficulty will come to an end!           Bel 1

In the Town of Namur we found this hidillic atmosphere, where you could imagine to be still in the '40s, or in 1840s for what that matters.           Bel 2

Brugge's Beginhof. This is a place where once lived old nuns called Begin. Also in Italy a 'beghina' is said of a woman who always prays. It comes actually from here!    Bel 3

Here is our Dock! It was very old and also very slow, it is almost a miracle it could ride us throug the Alps for such a trip!
