Because it excites me so much, here is what is was like walking to work this morning.
I bet I slip over!

This Christmas as I was away from my family for the first time I decided to go to Bruge in Belgium. I had been to Brussels before and thought it was okay but after seeing the Colin Farrell film ‘In Bruge’  I thought I had to check it out.

The place was great, we got a good hotel room and the location was superb, right next to the main square. The first day we went Ice-Skating and to the Ice Sculptures (which had an ice bar and it didn’t cost much at all).

It wasn’t too cold the first day but from Xmas day onwards it was freezing!

I did a lot of drinking and eating as usual around Christmas, there was a pub that had over 100 types of beers and each one was served in it’s own type of glass …fantastic! Christmas day was good, did some exploring and took some good photos as most places were shut, then had an awesome 7 course Christmas dinner.

On the last day we left early and went back to Brussels so I could get some better photos with my new camera.

My insurance money finally came back over the holidays after being robbed way back in September, talk about efficiency! So I went out and replaced the stolen 300D with a brand new Canon 450D with a 15-55mm IS and  70-300mm IS lens.

The new model is way better than the old one with double the Mega-Pixels and way more features, best of all the camera and lens cost the same as the original buy price on the one that was stolen.

I will add more photos to my gallery section soon, I think I might redo that section too.

I am now on the Eurostar on my way to Bruge, Belgium for Christmas.

Merry Christmas to everyone and for those back in Oz, I hope it’s not too hot for you all.

This is what I found at my local supermarket ‘Sainsburys’ the other day… XXXX beer!

I love the phrase on the side of the carton too.

Good as gold mate!
