Life in Leuven!

After lots of organising, people running around getting internet connections, cables, speakers etc we set ourselves up in the old chapel here at the Irish College in Leuven to watch the Grand Final on Saturday morning with a 6.00am starting time!  A great atmosphere but no party pies or footy beers!  Strange!!

After the football it was breakfast time!!  The others went out for a three hour walking tour but I stayed back and had a shower, organised my room and rested my ankle which was looking like this...

It was then off for a late lunch and a beer or 2000 at The Capital. This bar really has 2000 beers from Belgium on their menu and give you a book to help you order on. They guarantee that 92% of them are available at any time. I think it will take us a while.


The a town Hall is a popular landmark and is especially spectacular at night time when they light it up. 


Look who's coming to Leuven!!!

  1. Ouch. That looks very sore, bit like the tailgate on my ute that a @!\%#+ in Shepparton ran into on Monday when I was stopped at lights on Benalla rd. Freezing here today, lunch Rich Glen with aqua ladies. Footy is over now so guess it's time to get into gardening. Hope trip is going well and you are able to get about on that ankle. Where are you Andrew? Have you started your new job yet? Cheers FOA

  5. Why couldn't I write any more! I think one is supposed to have 'rich' experiences on study tours... And that does not mean meeting a rich man! X
