Busy, busy!

This month of June is quite a busy one for us (Chris and I). Not one weekend at home, which makes it sometimes hard to get everything done.

The first weekend of June we were staying in the south of France (Nice). A nice and sunny start, which was good because we didn't get a lot of nice weather before (and not after, as well). Then, last weekend we were in Rotterdam. More about those two trips in my travel blog.

The upcoming weekend we'll be staying in Brussels. It's only 26 km away from Dendermonde, and you might ask why we are staying there. Well, the train service is poor in Belgium. There aren't any trains after 11 pm. When you don't have a car and you depend on public transport, you need to make choices. So when you want to see a show that only starts at 8 pm, the only option is taking a room in a hotel and spend the night there. That way we're going to be in Brussels. Normally, I don't like the capital that much (we are more drawn to Antwerp) but we want to see a show in Bozar. Can do some exploring of Brussels that way, as I don't know it very well.

The following weekend we are going to spend at the seaside - it's been some time since we went to our flat there. Looks like the weather might be somewhat better by then. I sincerely hope we'll get more sunshine coming up!

The last weekend of June (and beginning of July) we're off to Italy. We already visited Rome and Venice, so now want to see Florence.

Chris is looking forward to a long vacation from work. Two more weeks to go, and then she has 8 weeks to spend as she likes.Will do her good. That job is very stressy.
