Karl hits the marx

Just found a bar called Karl which is the nearest to Newquay's Vic Bars that we've seen since it shut. Gawd bless it.

There is a very good chance we miss the last bus back...

Check the picture out by the way.

Heidelburg -

Last minute decision to go to Heidelburg, Germany.  A friendly, wonderful place.  Some interesting beggars though. Not that they got much out of us tight wads.

Maastricht - Carnivore friendly

Slightly tired today for some reason.  Obviously the ridiculously late night on weapons-grade strength beer had nothing to do with it.

Dinner consists of a mountain of meat with fries and mayo.  Funnily enough tonight isn't such a late one.

Le Trappiste

We love this pub.  Any bar that has this selection of beers on menu was always going to be popular with us.  However, a taster paddle of 5 gorgeous Belgian ales for 10 Euros makes all the difference.  The fact that the weakest was 8.2% might explain the feeling of lethargy the next day. And the headache.

In Bruges - A gorgeous blonde!

First beer of the trip and going down far too well.  What an amazingly beautiful place.

Say Hello to Benny

Countdown to the EuroBeerRoadTrip

OK, so EuroBeerRoadTrip isn't actually a real word.  Mind you, neither is NigelFarageNeedsaSlap or KylieMinogueWillBeMyWife but I think the point is made. 

On Saturday we (3 middle-aged men who really should know better) pick up the rented motorhome and head in the general direction of Belgium.  That's up, turn right and then down again.

What could possibly go wrong?

O ye of little faith!

So it seems that the girls at the Surf Life Save club doubt whether we'll do
the distance. 10 countries in 10 days? Piece of cake.

In Training

Ah, the abject beauty of a ridiculously strong Belgian ale.  Last one to Bruges is a big girl's blouse. Hurrah!
