Latest Message | Spent a couple of cruisy days in Luxembourg while Roz recovered from """spending many pennies""". Did manage to see most of the sights still, despite the rain. Went to the movies for the first time since leaving NZ, and saw The Village. Roz managed to hold herself together at the funfair while we got thrown around like undies in a washing machine, on such rides as the power tower (which had its own incredibly annoying live DJ - alright alrigh alright this one is special just for you). Hung out in Brussels and went to the comic strip musuem and hunted out comic characters painted around the city. Then went to Ypres, and learnt about the great war and the events around there. Really good interactive displays at the musuem. | ||
