Since varsity mates Lara and Roger lived in Belgium and regaled us with stories all about this wonderful country, I have been wanting to visit.

The Bad News: By the time I actually get round to visiting, L & R would have already moved to USA
The Good News: By some strange twist of fate, L & R are actually going to be on holiday in Belgium at the same time as me. I can't wait to see them and their baby daughter Erin and hopefully get a guided tour from the ex-locals :)

How am I getting there: by Eurostar straight from London

Which towns? Brussells, Bruges and Antwerp
What am I most excited about? THE CHOCOLATE...clearly
