We dropped off the boat and headed to the war memorial (the great escape from Dunkirk) and then onto to an abandoned town called Doel. (a tip from the duckfarmer (Peter) in Sweden)
It was very interesting, to see what happens to a town when a nuclear power station gets built in/right near the town that you live in. It was deserted, a whole town - complete with infrastructure that would come with a town. There was pedestrian crossings, street lights, all the road markings, phone boxes etc - all smashed or graffitied in some way. The houses were all boarded up, but we walked into a few of them that were already broken into. It actually looked like the house that we had fixed up a little. We then moved on to go back to boxmeer.
Boxmeer - staying at bongo's. He cooked us a dish called boerenkool, sausage and Kale (a vegetable that is apparently one of the healthiest going around). The next few days were recovery days, I went for the odd run (maybe 2-3) and we watched the boxmeer guys lose their game again. Bongo broke his foot - which resulted in him being bedridden for the next week and a half. We watched movies, I wrote a job application, and basically did nothing - it was really nice. We left on the friday to go to austria - to go snowboarding! With high expectations we headed off (8 hours drive - but really not that long considering the drives that we have done so far) we arrived at our accommodation at about 5pm, made a uick stop at the supermarket and then went to bed. I can't be bothered writing about the actual skiing conditions because it will take too long now. But it was good enough.
Will update later.
