Yesterday was 466 days since returning to the UK, or in other words, 66 weeks and 4 days which has a nice symmetry to it. Looking back we feel very lucky, being able to afford to go travelling, particularly the […]
The Diamond Capitol of the World
Antwerp was a great city to enter Europe. Being in Belgium we were surrounded by delicious food and beer, and as it is situated in the north of the country we could practice our rusty Dutch. I mean Flemish. Actually […]
