Beverlo (Beringen) Belgium (May 10th 2011)


Cathy and Sean have been here for a couple days and we are on our way to Belgium.. There is a factory in Belgium that makes a curtain Barometer that Sean wanted to pick up and take home. The factory was about a four hour drive from our house so we decided to drive there, pick up what he wanted and then go on to Brugge.. it's about another 2 hours in the car.



Well, everything went great until Sean went to pay for all his treasures... Turns out they don't take credit cards or debit cards... In fact Sean couldn't find anyplace in this small town that could give him cash... WOW.... not only was getting cash a problem but getting the four boxes into our station wagon along with four adults was interesting... We decided to go onto Brugge, pick up cash there and drive back to get Seans stuff the next day... worked out better anyway.. there just wasn't enough room in the car for everything...



























We were given a tour in the factory.. it was interesting and I learned about barometers ..



























This lady is good.. it was amazing watching her work...










We didn't get to our hotel until around 7:00 at night and we were all ready for a nice dinner and a glass or two of wine... It took us around two hours just to find the hotel when we got to Brugge. Even with a GPS is was very difficult... so let me tell ya, we were ready to get out of the car by the time we found the hotel...


The hotel was nice.. more like a bed and breakfast...
More on Brugge on the next blog..

Nighty night...
