39th day Ninove to Wichelen

Distance: 30km
Total: 3640km

Night was extremely warm and humid, felt like everything is so sticky and bit wet. In the morning the tent indeed was totally wet from the humidity and there was loads of snails on tent - big snails. Left earlier than usual, but it was incredibly hot early on.

I had an agreement with friend to meet on Wichelen train station on call and the plan worked. Its great to meet someone in person who you known over internet for years and kinda get face behind the voice. Due to timetable and other reasons (like my slightly crawling homesickness), the visit would be a short one. But we managed to go see Brugge and the coast. To see sea again since Latvia was kind of relaxing to just see the sea horizon with all vastness - going to see more sea on the coming week. Brugge and the stew gave good sample of Belgian culture - shame it was +35°C, so buying the famous Belgian chocolate wasn't really an option.

In the evening just camped on the yard with the tent as it was much cooler outside than inside. Thanks for the possibility to meet you dude - and there's a lot places to hike in Finland (hint hint).

  1. You will regret those hints when im standing in front of your door one day :p

    It was great to have you here mate, shame it was only for one day

    I told you you would have snails when you put your tent so close to the plants!

    Im keeping an eye on your blog and i hope you make it all the way back up there safely

    Just watch out for the sheep in the netherlands as they train them to take your money from you

    Also be carefull for those wolves when you get closer home :)

    regards,

    David the Belgian dude

  2. The snails were on night earlier, none found this morning.

    Think I'd be just happy to see ya behind my door. You're such urban guy - wolves not gonna touch you, be happy to see one in the wild.
