VT meetings

Come and have a cup of coffee!
I had the pleasure of having Rose (Rozehill) visiting me in October 2002.
We had such fun! Hope to find some time to add more of it on my tip's pages!
I will never forget this year!
I think I met about the whole world!

At our Bruges trip we had a short meeting with Evelyn Coleman, an American female writer.
I have put a picture of our meeting at the nightlife tips as I took both of them to a small pub, often overlooked by tourists, but frequented often by locals.
I will be meeting Evelyn again a few weeks later at Antwerp.

In December 2002 I had Chinthaka (non-VT member) visiting, in March 2003 I went to Bruges with Leroy (Brewdog) and Karl (Hopdog) and in June 2003 I went to Bruges with John & Sarah (Macdoggie) and Caroline (B_Caro).
Danielle & Rose
Granada TV and the Spanish singer/winner

and... believe it or not

We got filmed! When we hired a tandem (see the sport tip), Rose and I practiced first at the Market square. And there the crew of Granada TV asked us if they could shoot us for the program "Stars in their eyes". So I thought if they would make us world famous `-)
we might as well return them the same favour by putting them on VT!
I forgot to ask the names of the crew but the young woman is Amanda and at the very right is the Spanish winner of a European play back contest by covering (life) a song of Julio Iglesias.
At this moment I am a bit sad not to think of it at that moment to have him cycling the tandem! That would have made HIM double famous `-)

Pros:"you can easily fall in love with this city"
Cons:"don't stick to the "golden triangle" where tourists get lost and money as well in the tourist shops"
In A Nutshell:"there is a paradise of peaceful streets and area's if you turn around the corner"
