<<<<<<<<<<ooo>>>>>>>>>>
Be welcome here! In the pages that will follow, I will try to let you divide the impressions, emotions and reflections that I felt during my journeys. My name here is WandelJP: JP on walk. In fact most of my vacation (and also meadows of my place, during the major part of the year) I pass them to walk on of long distances. This is so I crossed France from north to the south. A current project is the way of Santiago of Compostelle. To reason of 8 days per year, since Belgium, I will leave in next April from Périgueux. More of information on us are visible on my Dadizele page. And if on a day you go through my pages or same close to at our place, let us know it: it is always a pleasure to meet people dividing our passion. To soon. ..on VT or elsewhere...
---oooOOOooo--- Soyez les bienvenus ! Dans les pages qui vont suivre, je vais essayer de vous faire partager les impressions, émotions et réflexions que j'ai ressenti au cours de mes périples.
Mon nom ici est WandelJP: JP en balade . En effet la plupart de mes vacances (et aussi prés de chez moi, au cours de la majeure partie de l'année) je les passent à marcher sur de longues distances. C'est ainsi que j'ai traversé la France du nord au sud. Un projet actuel est le chemin de Santiago de Compostelle. A raison de 8 jours par an, depuis la Belgique, je partirai en Avril prochain de Périgueux.
Plus d'informations sur nous sont visible sur ma Dadizele page.
Et si un jour vous passez par mes pages ou même près de chez nous, faites le nous savoir: c'est toujours un plaisir de rencontrer des gens partageant notre passion.
A bientôt...sur VT ou ailleurs...

As usual, this is on foot that we discovered our charm capital. In having to leave the car at Groot-Bijgarden, we took the bus then the subway to Mongomery. The return on foot take us the day while exploring many "spots" on the way. I wish you as much pleasure to read that we in had to traverse on the way. ---oooOOOooo--- Comme d'habitude, c'est à pied que nous avons découvert notre charmante capitale. En ayant laisser la voiture à Groot-Bijgarde nous avons pris le bus puis le métro jusqu'à Mongomery. Le retour à pieds nous pris la journée en explorant de nombreux "spots" en chemin. Je vous souhaite autant de plaisir à lire que nous en avons eus à parcourir en chemin.

I try to give you what I feel when I'm walking, simply.
My pages: Belgium: Any tips about beers
Dinant: Any tips and pics with beautiful castle
Diest: any tips about the country and Belgian wines.
Coucy le Chateau: I hope you like the pics and tips so I enjoy my week-End there.
Namur: A walk along the river Meuse , It's also the city capital of the French speaking part of Belgium.
You'll see that my preferences go to to France:
Arras : A nice city with beautiful nature around , has much suffered during WW I (I always thinking what happens now in Libanon!)
Who knows Bavay:This little city was in Roman empire time a important crossing on the Roman roadways!
An other important city in Roman time but also after (Louis the XIV ,...) is Condé sur l'Escaut Vieux-Condé The old coal mines have leave traces in the landscape but nature take it over now.
Nevers was on the way to Santiago de Compostella pilgrimage this year (2006). It was ether the place where the Duc de Never (brother of the king of France) lived. It's an important city in Bourgogne. |

I'm fithty man ! Last week end, I go for a walk near the Belgian/Netherlands border.
BUT, after a very short walk, I was wait at the Youth Hostel at Zoersel from family and friends to have a fabulous birthday party.
And I just don't know about it !
Friends, family,drank & food on a very sympathetic place this is of course a (long) life motto for me. Thanks to every one who was there or support me with messages and ...-<oOo>- Ce dimanche 2 septembre, Je me suis rendu près de la frontière Belgo/Néerlandaise pour une randonnée.
MAIS, après une très courte marche, à l'auberge de jeunesse de Zoersel: Famille et amis m'attendaient pour fêter mon anniversaire .
Et je n'était même pas au courant !
Amis et famille, à boire et à manger dans un endroit éminemment sympathique: c'est toute l'histoire de ma (déjà longue) vie.
Merci a tous ceux qui m'ont congratulé par un message ou autre...<<<oooOOOOOOooo>>> |

Thank you so much for your birthday greetings, Jean-Pierre. I had hardly any access to the internet for a fortnight so couldn't thank you sooner. | Bilimari Fri Sep 4, 2009 08:19 UTC
Happy belated birthday, JP! Hope you had a wonderful day. :) -Motoko- | a2lopes Thu Sep 3, 2009 12:16 UTC
You are definitely right about drinking it instead of talking about it JP. Hope to see you (and cheer up with you) in Krakow (or even before). Greetings from Lisbon which is also waiting for your visit. BTW happy belated birthday |
