2012 - Belgium

[Giles]

Before I had to stoop so low as Orval…..

[Seul]

Damn. Poor taste buds. Massively fruity and aromatic beer followed by the dry dribble scooped from sleeping monks facesknown as Orval…

Yesterday we went to Ghent for the day.  What a town, we will be back…

Unfortunately it was closed...

Ghents version of a Mall…

Needed a lift-me-up for lunch (10.5 - ouch)..

More fantasticity…

The castle…

Paula with Sara (younger sis) and Johan (her Belgish boyfriend)…

Wow, G.  Ghent looks awesome.  I haven't been on this forum long, but your travel in the last quarter of 2012 has been really extraordinary.  Congrats.

[Seul]

Aaaah Ghent… 

[Finn666]

Johan looks like a future customer G. (that is if he ain't wearing IH already!?)!…

[davito]

Looks great G i love that castle

[Giles]

And beer buying had to be done.  I had a "firm" budget of Euro300, so was not surprised that we managed to get away with Euro550….Space in car being the limiting factor.

Seuls beer place is amazing and I can't wait to go back...

Needed a beer to recover…

The bill in that pic is the first of two bills we managed to win in the beer place.  We filled the trolley up, so went and paid and then went back for more….

Giles, when you post stuff like that, I can't help but get all cliche and think "only in my dreams!"

[seanocono]

Damn, G.  That's a hell of a way to kick off the year.  I can't even imagine how fun that spending spree was.

[rocket]

you are nuts in a very very good way, and hey, nice outfit…

[Megatron1505]

Good news G, the Trons are visiting next weekend 

[Giles]

You think there'll be any left?

[Megatron1505]

So, you're back late tomorrow right? 

[Giles]

About 8PM.  Hoping Alex is about to help me in with this lot…..

[Finn666]

that Giles, he crazy!

so how did you like the westmalle? isn't that bad eh

[Giles]

It was brilliant, but there are others in my stash that I am far more excited about opening.  I did the typical G thing and peaked too early, I went large on everything and then when we had no more room for more, we were only about 60% through Seuls list.  I think I misinterpreted "one".  When he said "buy one or two of them", I thought he meant case…....

[Finn666]

ha, that's what happens to me often as well…I'm already planing a 2013 trip to Belgium to fill the dunk with some badass stuff. I really do miss that belgian beer!

[Seul]

Giles you crazy malaka… I do spot a lot of things I recommended... Thanks for the vote of confidence

Yet he waisted valuable trunk space with Royco soup   …
