Waffle Day! Up until about 7pm tonight it was looking as though waffles were going to be my sole diet today. I'd never been seen asking forgiveness of anyone responsible for my excellent (read: 'difficult') upbringing regarding today's choice of meal, waffles are delicious. Breakfasts pick was of course laden with nutritious fruit, cherries... and of course whipped cream. For 10am on the busiest day of the week in Bruges, the little patisserie was empty and cal...

I woke this morning to the speaking of hostel bunk beds. No I don't mind. As Colin Farrell would say "I'm in f- Bruges!" My brief companionship with Hikarru ended at 8am as he was due at the station for his train to Paris. I would envy him but I like Bruges and I don't like the French, of which Paris teems.

Exhilarating and impressive landscape in good w...

14.30 That blasted rain has scuppers our pedalo plans! We were promised a sunny Saturday but instead were given something very different. I spent the day finishing off my second book of the year and starting my third - Catching Fire. 23.00 We decided to pay a visit to the museum in Eidford this afternoon. Yay! How much was it? 120 NOK each. Boooo! So we headed to the gift shop instead! I bought a couple of bookmarks, a moose fridge magnet, and a cheese slicer...
