I wasn't looking forward to the exam but I adored driving back in NZ. Now to work out how to drive on the wrong side of the road ;)<BR/><BR/>I know Amanda ... sorry about your desk-bound state. We're going to try organising one at a time when employed people can come :)<BR/><BR/>And paris parfait, I'm lucky with my proximity to Brussels. The tram is close to the apartment, a few stops and I'm at the train station ... if I catch the right train Brussels is simple to reach.Di Mackeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00273089782589416134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19028456.post-1158354706474338932006-09-15T23:11:00.000+02:002006-09-15T23:11:00.000+02:00Sounds like a fun day!

As for the stifling heat and humidity, it was the same in Paris yesterday. Thankfully, rain showers have made it more bearable, although it's still muggy. Where's the fall weather we had back in August??!! And how wonderful that you can switch drivers' licenses so easily!paris parfaithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05457437124988976587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19028456.post-1158343997478407472006-09-15T20:13:00.000+02:002006-09-15T20:13:00.000+02:00I would loved to have been there and absolutely wo...I would loved to have been there and absolutely would have if I wasn't stuck behind an office desk. ;(awomyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16727851790642598528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19028456.post-1158328713031139372006-09-15T15:58:00.000+02:002006-09-15T15:58:00.000+02:00And I'm jealous of your day out AND your ability t...And I'm jealous of your day out AND your ability to get a driver's license without the exam!!!! <BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, I'll be over here walking because I would need to take an expensive and time-consuming course (yes driving around with an instructor), and then the written exam and the driving exam -whether I want to drive a car or a Vespa. <BR/><BR/>Lucky you!

I'm always so happy to be introduced to new places by locals and this museum was a find :)<BR/><BR/>Doberman, you'll turn up in Belgium one day and I'll be your guide :) As for having the time and energy ... sometimes I'm terribly lazy and anyway, you're studying now ... delicious stuff.<BR/><BR/>New Zealanders are everywhere christina :) probably a bit like Candians really. <BR/><BR/>Oh those trains, all expats and visitors should be warned about the milk train ones.Di Mackeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00273089782589416134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19028456.post-1158323067023491612006-09-15T14:24:00.000+02:002006-09-15T14:24:00.000+02:00I'm glad to hear that you're not the only NZ expat...I'm glad to hear that you're not the only NZ expat in Belgium. <BR/><BR/>Sounds like a lovely time - except for the metro and the train that is. We have trains like that too- The InterCity or the InterCityExresse that get you there in minutes and the RegioBahn that stops at every milk can along the way.christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15991148606497381478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19028456.post-1158321185757160372006-09-15T13:53:00.000+02:002006-09-15T13:53:00.000+02:00Di, I'm jealous!
