Roeselare Belgium

We have arrived at the Park Hotel, nice setting, the first room we were given, the bathroom door was hanging off so we were given an exact same room further along the passage but this time with the bathroom door on.
The sun is shining and the town is full of people mostly English I think. Anyway the trip today was great we set off at 7.00 am from Aarhus we got to Hamburg in two and half hours which was quite good although the weather was really bad. We saw the festival goers camping in Skanderborg and felt really sorry for them. We stopped in Holland at a service station and got sandwiches then we sat and ate them in the car because the seats were soaking with the rain. We then headed on and made really good time. We followed a mixture of Eric and Dils directions which brought us directly to the hotel we missed the entrance through the archway by a couple of metres and had to go around the one way system to come round again and then into the car park.There must be a jaguar convention on because the hotel is full of jags MkII and a couple of Mk10's anyway we need to go and visit a local hostelry and check out the food situation for tonight.
We are both tired but otherwise in good spirits looking forward to coming back to Newcastle. We get the ferry from Dunkerque at 16.00 tomorrow so I will decide then if we drive straight back or stay somewhere overnight.
We will put pictures up later as the iphone is unable to get a signal or detect wireless networks.
I am busy looking for comments and we have a distinct lack of any and after all the twittering we have been doing c'mon get your twittering fingers out or look at the blog and post a comment.

  2. Well it might be easy for you to twitter, but we can't use it here in the UK. Glad you have arrived at the Hotel, hope you find a nice place to eat.
