It was a long and tiring drive back to the French Capital and we had to stop along the way to give poor Olaf a rest and for Thomas to take over the driving duties.

We got into Paris at around 6:30-7AM. Thomas dropped me off right by my hotel. I staggered in half asleep, got my room key and went upstairs and fell into a deep deep sleep.

We parked up the cars and walked though the town square, down a little street and into ‘Delirium‘.
The first thing that strikes you as you walk into Delirium, is that all the glasses are of different shapes and sizes.
Eric and Rachel ordered a local beer called ‘Kwak‘. Now Kwak is a very strong beer (About 8%) and is dark brown in appearance. It comes in a very odd shaped glass, very similar to a small yard of ale, and has to be hung on a kind of rack as the glass has a bulbous bottom to it….

And so on to Brussels the bureaucratic heart of the EU, Chocolate, Waffles, Frites, and er….really bad roads!
We met up at Anvers promptly at 11 and set off out of Paris and onto the autoroute.

I had an old WordPress blog many moons ago and I have decided to (for your enjoyment) to transplant this really long blog post I wrote from there to here where I think it really belongs.

It’s from the spring of 2007 where I took an amazing trip to Paris and went on a little adventure with my pals Thomas and Olaf – It’s in four parts and I really hope you enjoy it!
