Hoge Venen - Eifel

I surprised Joost for a weekend in nature: we went to the Hoge Venen - Eifel. Monschau is a really nice little village. It reminded us of Rovereto. We went for a long hike and I got injected by a wasp, luckily I discovered that I am not allergic. On the last day, we took a boat trip back and forth - twice, as it was really beautiful weather!

Ghent Festival - Gentse Feesten 2011

For a little holiday we went to Ghent, to the yearly 10-days festival (a bit rainy though). 

Not many pictures, but it was great to see our Belgian friends again, family and the concerts. 

Some impressions:
