I MADE IT!  Yippee!  And it's five o'clock in the morning here!  Why in the world am I up so early when I'm still so sleepy?  Jet lag.  I was sooooo exhausted last night when I finally arrived, I was out before my head hit the pillow.  Slept good too just not long enough.  ZZZZZZZZ. SLEEPY.  And there are guys yelling in the street and a car running!  Be quiet people!   

So you know those people who can travel all day and arrive looking fresh as a daisy?  Ya that is so not me.  Hehe.  There was a point yesterday in the middle of heathrow when I thought I was going to lose it.   Tired, endless lineups and security, and so hot I could barely breathe.  Actually, I was sweating like a pig.  NOT attractive.  And I couldnt find cold water to save my life.  Ugh.  I did see a good sale on perfume though at the duty free. :p.  Oh and when I looked in the mirror a big zit on the end of my nose.  Nice.

The flight was long but uneventful.  Somehow, half way through the guy in the middle seat beside me left and never came back.  I don't know where he went but he was a bit annoying and the extra room was nice so who cares.  Hehe

Taxi ride was a bit scary - the guy zipped around like a nut in and out of traffic but it was ok.  Although sooooo expensive.  Highway robbery!  Arrived to B&B and away he went.  After taking all my money.  LOL.   After what seemed like forever, Sofie opened the door to the place.  I was starting to get a little worried to be honest. LOL.   But there she was.  The room is beautiful and large.  High high ceilings.  big claw foot bath although I really would have like a shower.  I got clean and wiped the sweat off.......guess that's all that matters.   Hehe

Ok. Off to see if I can zzzzzz a bit more but I am feeling waked up now, so probably not.  I wonder what adventure awaits today?  Oh if you ever go to Europe, bring a washcloth from home because they don't provide them apparently.  That sis

Welcome in Belgium!!!!

Taxidrivers in Brussels always drive crazy! Well...everybody does! That's Brussels! lol

We are so used to take washclothes with us that I didn't think about mentioning it! In Europe they only give you towels :)

Have a lovely day and I'm looking forward to read about your adventures!

And the journey begins! I enjoy the idea of staying at a B&B. It brings on a sense of relaxation. Does it have the same effect on you? :)

See I knew you would make it ok. So didn't even think about a washcloth. So are you rested now or still jet lagged?
