Finally in the process of editing photos from 2024! We’re getting back on track! Last January we spent a couple of days in Belgium again. It’s becoming a tradition by now. This time we visited the Liberation Garden museum in Leopoldsburg (highly recommended) and we visited Liège (Luik in Dutch). Probably most famous for its, besides the waffles, 374-step staircase, Montagne de Bueren. Quite the work-out, but worth the view! Shot with the X-E4 and the 16mm fujinon lens.

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.

27th of April! King’s day in The Netherlands. But this year we skipped the orange madness and went somewhere else. We decided to go to Mechelen. Only 1,5 hours drive away from us. Just across the Belgian border. So here’s yet another post about Belgium! 🙂

For the first week of January we booked a nice little house in Eksel, Belgium. The park itself was still under construction but that wasn’t really a problem. The house was nice, comfortable and clean. During our stay we had a walk in the forest and made some small stops in different places nearby. Of course we couldn’t just go back home without having a waffle as well! 2022 is off to a good start! 🙂

Here’s another post about Belgium. One day difference between visiting Ghent and Brussels. One month difference between blogging about them. 🙂 But here it is!
After having spent the day in Ghent and the night in Vilvoorde, we headed for Brussels the next day. Brussels is the capital and largest city of Belgium and has been a major center for international politics. What’s also interesting is that the city is bilingual. Both Dutch and French are used there.
And before we knew it we were back in Belgium. 🙂 The last weekend of May we headed south towards Ghent. After a short drive (just over two hours) we reached our destination. We were all curious to have a peek at the city. Iván included.
