In the pursuit of hoppiness, Belgium seems to have become a little forgotten about… Often, I get asked for my predictions, the looking into the ol’crystal bollocks and picking out some winners for the grand national of beer. But, I’ve been caught a little blindsided on this… the numbers of people who are popping to Belgium, either by the Eurostar or coming down to these parts of Deepest Darkest Kent ™ and floating or tunnelling to the mainland. I wonder, the cost of flights? Fuel? quick weekends away? Cheap Coach Fares.com? or just people “oh, we haven’t been to Brugge in ages… let’s go restart the fires…” ergo: I am sure a helluva lot of kids are conceived in Brugge…
But, then there is Ghent too… “Brugge without the tourists” or Antwerp, cool, trendy town… and for the multi-cultural experience (or an evening in Moeder) Brussels.
Funny little place, Belgium…
Oh, did I tell you about the beer?
There is a lot going on in Belgium… and, the beers not bad either… We’re off soon.. see you there.
