During our last trip to the UK, we also had a quick visit to Portsmouth. A fourthy five minutes drive from Godalming where we staying. February meant it was still calm. Not everyone was on board immediately with the idea of having a walk. But that all changed after having a scavenger hunt at the Porthsmouth Cathedral. What a lovely afternoon it was!

We were lucky enough to spend some time with friends in the UK again. Just like last time we took the Eurotunnel to cross the channel. It was quite a short trip actually. About 5 and half hours, door to door. During our stay we planned a day to do some sightseeing in London. Blue skies and red busses everywhere. A perfect day to be a tourist.

Less than an hour away from where we were spending our mini holiday in Belgium, is the city of Leuven. Home of Stella Artois. We didn’t drink any Stella but we did have some amazing waffles (both Brussels and Liege) instead. That alone was worth the trip! 🙂

Just like last year we decided to start the year by spending a couple of days in Belgium, just across the border. By coincedence we passed the Postel Abbey on our way to the holiday house. People familiar with the Efteling will recognize this from the story behind Villa Volta. So we decided to come back the next day and have a look. We didn’t find any trace of Hugo but we did have a wonderful afternoon exploring the abbey and its surroundings.

Giethoorn had always been on our list of places to visit. Famous for its canals and waterways. It’s a popular destination for tourists visiting The Netherlands. In the summertime it can get really busy and you’ll find many boats on the water. However when we visited the village in October you could see the high season was over. The place was pretty calm and there were no queues for renting a boat. It was a perfect sunny October day to be out on the water. Bringing out the pirate in all of us. 🙂

Of course, lake Balaton had to be included. We rented an apartment for a couple of days. Enjoying the heat and the water. A perfect start of the holiday!
