Cold day today but are going indoor rock climbing anyway. Girls stayed at Andrews last night, so jerm and I just chilling out this morning. Girls walked home with Jillie and played here for a while, then we all went around to andrews for lunch then to rock climbing.

Hi Everyone Well, we are finally here in Belgium and the first thing I have to say is that......THE WAIT WAS WORTH IT! We are loving it here. A run down on our activities so far.... We arrived on Monday morning about 8AM Brussels time. There was supposed to be someone from the relocation company to meet us at the airport but no one showed up. Then again, we only decided to fly over on Friday after the Belgium offices were closed for the weekend, and then we arrived before they opened on Monday morning so we had thought we might [View Full Entry]

Woke to a beautiful day in Zingem today. Went on a bike ride, was supposed to reach a village called Oudenaarde in about 1 hour but took a wrong turn and ended up in the village before that one in about 2 hours!!! Fuelled up on some burgers and chips and headed back to Zingem - about another 1/2 hour. Beautiful scenery, mainly biked by the river but also on some farm roads. Other than the smell (cow manure we think) and sore butts it was great. All very tired and sore now. Girls had a little sleep while Jeremy and [View Full Entry]

A great day out in Ghent. Somehow managed to catch train from zingem into ghent, then tram into centre of ghent and found the historic area! Phew that was almost enough for one day!!! went to st Bavos cathedral, very awesome but couldnt take photos inside, the cathedral has 22 altars, then onto Belfry where we climbed 444 small winding stone steps to the top, but unfortunately I couldnt make the most of the view as my legs were like jelly (it was the height thing again) so Jeremy took some photos while I clung to the wall!! Next onto St [View Full Entry]
