Apologies for the lack of posts. This is for several reasons - problems with my internet connection (now resolved), getting a full time job (which will end soon) and being away on holiday.
It was good to get a holiday this year after losing our Christmas holiday last year, and this time there were no unreliable French trains to spoil things. This year we flew from Leeds Bradford to Brussels on BMI.
It was nice to see Oostende again, but the hotel was not as good as our usual one (which was fully booked) but we hope to get the usual one next year. We had a trip to Aachen (on the bus from Eupen) and also climbed the 210 steps up Zeebrugge water tower on Open Monuments Day.
