Backpack summer vacation - Mol

Next stop in our Europe round-trip was Belgium, meeting up with friends turned family in their new home. We took the Euro-Star from London to Brussels. Smooth ride under the English Channel and in just about 2h we set foot on Belgium ground. We met a conductor speaking at least 3 languages fluently. The public transportation travel idea worked so far quite well and we arrived in Mol as planned. It was wonderful to catch up and spent a day geocaching throughout the town of Mol. Thank you Izas, Miguel, Mario, and Simon - we had a fantastic time!

Backpack summer vacation-London

London was an awesome experience! We walked the city, took the tube and traveled the Thames with the boat.  London is a wonderfully vibrant, diverse city. I will not write much more. Except that we had excellent food and drinks and no rain ;)!
