Brave man to drive a stick again during first trip to Europe. Did I say brave? I meant 🤪 LF
ПутешественникI get lost a lot but these windy roads are damn fun to drive on. A stick shift is the only way to drive roads like these :-)
ПутешественникEver get the feeling people are laughing at you when you try to speak their language? Now, I'm not saying people at laughing at me but... people are totally laughing at me. The lady at this hotel definitely is. She's been wonderfully accommodating to my deficiencies but with every "merci" she gives an hilariously conspicuois"who does this mean guy think he's kidding" smile.

The Passchendaele museum has great reproduced trenches but for the real thing check this museum. Real trenches, real tunnels, real craters. A perfectly preserved little area.
ПутешественникThere was a tunnel... A tunnel!!! And a long tunnel too. Long and dark. I was going to go the distance but there was a guy in front of me and all I heard was <sploosh>... "sh*t!" ha ha. um, yeah, I'm not wearing the shoes for that kind of mishap. And I'm not about to wear sandels tomorrow
