For the last couple of days we had more tours through lovely little villages in the general area.
I think that’s what I enjoy most about olde Europe – the fact that everything is a hodge podge of whatever has lasted this long – I mean just check out all the funny roofs..
Also – on the canals – at least this one – Windsurfing is strictly prohibited. No sense of adventure at all!
There were lots of airplanes shot down in this area in WW2 – and there are memorials all over the place.
We also visited a bunker near a convent – that had a chapel in it – all quite eerie. Did however manage to make the best ever drop sound (for me at least)
Also – they don’t play mini-golf in this country – they play Midget golf. It was a close run game, Maaike tells me she threw it to make me happy – but I frankly don’t believe that’s true. Who would do such a thing?
.. But they do have fine, fine beer.

Ah yes, we have a photo or two of midget golf. Oh how we laughed…
Had a belgium beer tasting session at work recently which was loads of fun. Perhaps we could organise a dutch one?
