Kortrijk and Kuurne

Friday 8 & Saturday 9 May 2014

Just relaxed in general but managed to overcome two obstacles viz;

-          Have tentatively arranged a year’s membership of the Kuurnse Watersportvereeniging so that we can leave our boat there for June to September. 
Our new clubhouse.

Admired some statuary...


...and another marvelous cyclists bridge...


...had a sandwich at a corner cafe while Lynn made a penguin out of the drinks coaster...




...and I watched the ships go by (sorry, video clip too big to upload until I find an editor).

-          Managed to survive a Frederik and Josephine evening. They had sent a message asking us out to dinner on Friday and duly arrived by car at 20h15 and joined us for ‘bubbles’ (‘Castello Del Diablo’ from Chile – not nearly as good as I would have expected.) and then treated us to a great dinner at the Royale Brasserie on the Grote Markt; Lynn in particular was really wowed by her bouillabaisse and my pigs cheeks were also very good. On the way back to Elle we popped into the oldest pub in Kortrijk, the Fonteyntje, for 'pintjes' (a small [220ml] glass of house beer from the tap). I think we got to bed at 02h00.



Thanks Guys, that was brilliant and the next one is on us!
