After breakfast yersterday Simon took a bath (you should see the big beautiful bath tub! It reminds me of the one Aunty Heather has in North Battleford) and while he was in there I created this love little travel journal you all are reading! After he was done we went down to the Turnhout town park, it was HUGE, a manmade lake, a minature train with a station and everything ( for once I actually said the words, "I wish Nathan was here, he'd LOVE this" and then we wandered over to a park bench over looking an enclosure filled with goats, a boar, roosters, donkeys and I couldn't help find it really strange; it was like a petting zoo except you couldn't go in and pet the animals. It started to rain so we figured w should probably head home before it poured. After getting back we sat down and tried to figure out what to do about my heading back home since my flight was early in the morning and I had to be there even earlier since it was an international trip, so we decided to find a hostel to spend the night before at; after Simon realized I'm a museum nerd we decided to spend one day and two nights there so we can explore London a bit; the hostel we booked into is a 8 -10 person mixed dorm with no curfew and it has it's own pub attachd to it so I don't know how much sleep I'll be getting for those two nights but it should be fun; the hostel was pretty cheap and it's directly across the street from where I need to catch the train to the airport.
After booking the hostel we went downstairs for dinner; Simon's mom made a delicious (and completely veggie) dinner! And I had my first REAL Belgian chocolate, it was by far better than the stuff we have at home.
Day 6 (July 6, 2009)
I wasn't feeling the jet lag yesterday but it's hit me with a vengance today; luckily Simon had to run some errands for his school in the fall so I'm lounging around on my own today, think maybe I'll have a bath in that gigantic bathtub today! I took some photos of the view from the room I'm sleeping in and from the window I refuse to close while showering, if they work I'll put them up here for you to see.
A Story from Home that Made me Smile:
A conversation with Nathan today;
"where is Auntie Sara?"
"She's in Belgium" I reply
"Are there doors in Belgium?" he asks
"Yes, there are doors in Belgium" I answer
" When I grow up to be a girl, like Auntie Sara. I'm going to Belgium to look at doors too" he stated
