We are alive!!!

We made it!!!! We are as I type in Brussels staying with some of davids friends (taz and paolo). We drove Lucy from Utrect this afternoon (approx 35min from amsterdam) and wow, driving here is stressful - and I wasnt even the one driving! Poor david, though i thought he did amazing - the 5 lane traffic circle was particularly interesting seeing as we had no idea which road we actually wanted to be on! Ironically we are now in the process of ordering thai food for dinner - suggestion from paolo. We did eat some more traditional food last night which included belgian fries and a huge piece of pork (that the waiter described to us as "you know just like the bones/meat in asterix and obelix"). Delicious! And of course david tried the local beer - pretty smooth he said. I still have to work on developing my beer taste buds...

The flight to Amsterdam went miraculously well, and we arrived early without any incidents around 4:30pm local time, just in time to jump on a train to Utrect, where Lucy was waiting for us. Visiting Amsterdam is reserved for our trip back, if we have time. We took a cab from the train station and got dropped off in front of a green door, in a tiny tiny street (and the cab drove away). euuuuh... Now what?

... thats all for me for today... david will pick up on my rambling from here :)

Way to go! glad it all started well. As for driving, wait until you get to France or Italy! I am sure you know everything about driving rules and regulations for each country, and insurance requirements. Keep going strong! We miss you here, but wish we were with you. Have a great time. Ciao
