Day of fun and games

Today started like any other day.. out of bed at 8.. news check while eating the daily dossage of cheese toasties and drinking coffee. On the bike at 10. Today we met up with a rider from VC Ardennes, Jeroen, in Spa. While riding we were thinking of something to do for the afternoon, and as his night class was cancelled tonight we thought we would head to Maastrict. A very nice town just over the border in Holland. Its the start town to the Amstel Gold race which was held last Sunday and a very nice tourist town. We saw all sorts of fasinating things.. From homeless men who wouldn't have his photo taken (although i did get a sneaky one haha) to the pro team cars, vans and busses in town ready to takle the Fleche Wallone course tomorrow. I got a lot of pictures and will put some up.

We had a real nice dinner and then headed back home via liege to have a look. Reminded me of K. Road in Auckland through one part of the city haha.

The best part of the day was coming home to a package on the stairs waiting for us (thanks Denise). In this package were an assorted araay of goodies which included vegemite, pinapple lumps, munchies and licorice. Also tui socks, another dvd and some other stuff. No pies though. Did Josh not tell you hes craving pies at the moment?!! haha

So while we sifted through the shops, learning the culture with not a worry in the world made for a nice outting and good get-a-way from the farm. Speaking of farm, we now have 2 apartments we can move in to. So we will be viewing both this week and then moving in to one shortly after.

I also did a bit of ghost busting, as the ghost living in our bathroom was starting to scare me. I asked him nicely but after he decided to stay a few more days and keep the bathroom with a cold dark feeling i said warm the room up and you can stay. Been warm in there since. My next quest is catching the mouse that shits everywhere during the night. The little bugger is mine tomorrow as soon as i get some rat poison and mouse traps.

Well i think thats all for now. I am heading to bed soon so i can train early to be home in time to watch cycling on tv. The great thing about europe is theres almost always garenteed to be some cycling on tv when you get home from training which is nice to sit down and watch while lunch is consumed.

And Jeroen, if your reading, today was super cool so thanks for coming along and hanging out.

Thanks for reading, will post again soon
