Belgian beer, food...and what about the weather?!
It's getting colder here in Belgium....they're forecasting snow for this week and given that it is cold enough now that it could be kinda cool to play in the snow, knowing our luck it won't snow until Thursday when we leave! Today we went to Bruge - the Venice of the North - and did a few toursity things which was pretty good. Tonight we are staying with my former host sister, Elke, near Gent, and are just planning our day tomorrow - maybe Paris, maybe Brussels, or maybe another country nearby?!It's been great to catch up with everyone and my Dutch is coming back to me - after our first day here I even dreamt in Dutch that night! My former hometown of Genk is undergoing a few changes which has been interesting to see - esepcially the new cinema in the old coal mine, which we got to check out last night when we went to the movies with Frans and Maggy (don't worry, the film was in English - just with Dutch subtitles!)
We could put some more photos up but they all look a bit grey as it has been cold and raining, and besides, we'll be home by the end of the week so you can see them all then!

Hi Trace,
It was great to have you and Greg with us ! I hope to see you back soon, maybe on your honeymoon ???? Greg: please pop the question, she is such a lovely girl, and you two are such a great couple. It was wonderful to get to know you. Good luck you two in Australia and lots of kisses from us.
Björn, Elke and the kids.
In Holland we had snow this Wednesday and of course on Thursday, the landscape was coloured in wonderfull winter pastels. Have a safe trip home, Tracey, tot een andere keer in Europa? Anja
