in an effort to try to reduce the cabin fever that has set in here big time, we spent the past weekend in Belgium. we stopped in Liège:
and walked the 400 or so steps of Montagne de Bueren. this is actually a "street":
after the long way up, in which we had to take a couple of rest stops (people actually live on this street... they must be in awesome shape!), we were rewarded with a beautiful view:
the next day we visited Antwerp:
and on the way back to NL, we stopped in Den Haag (The Hague):
weekend before that, we went to Germany for dinner. as soon as you cross the border, it just "feels" like Europe... the look, the atmosphere, the food (ie: bakeries on every corner selling yummy cream-filled things). we had pizza for dinner (the thin crust kind the size of your plate), with a light snow falling outside. good service, good food, good prices... worth driving 2 hours for.
