Volia!

We have not been able to post due to lack of available internet. So, it's time to catch you all up! Day.....ummmm....well we have no clue! After we left Brugge, we took a train to Brussels. When we arrived in Brussels, we had a horrible feeling. The town of Brussels was dirty and smelly...not charming at all. However, we decided to make our way to our B & B. The B &B did not meet expectations. First, of all the room that we thought we were staying in appeared to be the two dog’s domain. When we arrived the dogs posted up on our bed and growled at us as we tried to sit next to them. We all looked at each other and came to a consensus that WE NEEDED TO LEAVE! So, we immediately left and took a taxi to the train station. From there, we made our way to Rochefort, Belgium. Rochefort was absolutely gorgeous! We fell in love with this small quiet town. Nobody in the entire town spoke English, only French. So, you could imagine how difficult it was communicating with the family at our hotel. Despite this, the family was very nice. We explored the town and stumbled our way to a park. While on this journey, we noticed blue dots on every other tree.....we swore we were on our way to a cult meeting. We walked....walked....walked and finally ended up at the top of the mountain of the park. This was a breathtaking view of the town....you could see for miles and miles (picture above). The next day, we explored two caves the Grotte de Rochefort and Grotte de Han. Both caves were incredibly amazing. However, we all agreed that the Grotte de Han was by far the best. This cave was considered the most beautiful in all of Northern Europe. It puts the Marianna Caverns to shame! Today, we made our way from Rochefort to Luxembourg to Trier, Germany. We had to stop in Luxembourg, because Jay wanted to add this country to his already long list. Therefore, we had to make our way to the tourist center to get our passports stamped. Oh, but that was not it! Also, according to Jay, we had to have a beer in order to claim Luxembourg as a country visited. So, of course, we did. By the way, did I mention that we had less than an hour to catch our train to Trier? We had to sprint from the bar to the train station...it felt like we ran a marathon. We made the train and arrived in Trier, which is the oldest city in Germany. Trier stood 1300 years before Rome, so they say. Mom arrived at 4pm and we had a taste testing with the chocolates bought in Brugge. Most were very Yummy! We plan to explore the city tomorrow and shop for Birthday outfits for Jay's b-day! Just so you know, we must love you all very much...because German keyboards STINK! The y and z are in opposite places and don't even ask were the shift key is! XOXO!
