Before New Years me and Paul shot down to have a quick look around Belgium. the place kicks ass! Great beer(thousands of types), officialy the best chocolate I've ever had in my life, beautiful citys full of really nice people and it snows sometimes... It's a shame I missed you Ed and Amanda, and Lina, but I'll probably be back soon cos I don't no how long I can fight this deep yearning for more of that Choccy and beer 😊

some guy eventually picked us up and took us half way, but then after waiting an hour for a ride in Gent, the Hamilton of Belgium, it was getting a bit dark so we took a train for the last hour
