In Flanders Fields


The best part about Belgium is that its tiny. You can get all over the place in one easy hour from Brussels, and the train tickets are ridiculously cheap. Also, the Trains to everywhere run at least twice an hour. So, yet again we headed out to Flanders, this time a little place called Lier, south of Antwerp. As usual, the town itself was very charming. We also got the bicycle rental deal which involved very cheap bike rentals, and a group of us biked around the fields around Lier. Unfortunately we experienced the worst part of Belgium, its enormously changeable weather, and had several strong downpours, punctuated by beautiful sunshine. Well worthwhile though. This time C and M were on the same train as us, though late for our original train.... some improvement in our coordination.
