I’m about to book my trip for september 2007. I will do 6 days of cycling and hang around a bit longer in Havana after that.

planning to visit my friend who lives there for a couple of years now.
Also want to hunt down some wild Bjorks

I don’t know if it actually is worth visiting or not. I didn’t have the time to go site-seeing

I just booked my trip, I’ll be going in september, doing a 15 day cycling trip

castles and whiskey, my two reasons I want to visit Scotland.
And to enjoy the beautifull landscapes of course.
And to do some long hikes.

So four reasons actually…

nice little german town with some lovely buildings and great food and beer

Point were The Netherlands, Belgium and Germany meet.
There is also a labyrinth.

just a beach, nothing special…

This is my real hometown where my parents still live.
I grew up here and lived here for about 20 years before I moved to Leuven and later Tienen.

Zoutleeuw is actually a nice little place to visit, a lot of tourists stop here to see the 13th century church and the other buildings on the market square and ‘het Vinne’.

To quote the tourist office:

‘Zoutleeuw is more often referred to as the “art centre of Flemish Brabant”. It owes this name to its many art treasures, which were preserved because Zoutleeuw was spared from the iconoclastic fury of the 16th century. The religious brotherhoods, the guilds and the bourgeoisie who made their money from the cloth industry constructed fabulous buildings, such as the magnificent Town Hall and Cloth Hall. St. Leonard’s Church, which was built between the 13th and 16th centuries, contains a magnificent copper Easter candlestick dating from 1483, and a sacrament tower, an 18-metre high, richly decorated tabernacle, dating from 1552.
Besides ample helpings of art and culture, the green environment around Zoutleeuw, and particularly the provincial parklands of het Vinne, are a paradise for cyclists and ramblers.’

The medina of Sousse is worth a visit. It is well preserved and is full of life, with a lot of shops (mainly focused on tourist). At the north of the medina you’ll find the Ribat.

There are some nice restaurants in Sousse like ‘Le Peuple’ that serve Tunisian food at very affordable prices.

If you’re somewhere on the coastline of Tunisia, it’s easy to visit Sousse by train.
