Prince of The Jungle

Haven't written anything for quite a long time - it was so interesting and busy that I couldn't be bothered. I've made it to Germany now, quite close to Dutch border though - it was difficult to say in which  country I was for last couple o days :) From Eeklo I went to Antwerp and had really good time there - don't remember what happened on my way there though - but I'm sure it was flat and it wasn't raining :) I keep forgetting to take more pictures with my little camera; maybe one of the reason is that I'm now a King that is welcomed with flowered tarmac everywhere he goes haha



It looks like they dress the coffee in a special way as soon as they feel energy of my arrival !!! 
This time I'm not gonna be talking that much about Couch Surfing, as again it was much, much beyond my expectations.
Gotta say something about Antwerp ;) I was told by Krzysiu & Iwonka to go and see the Jewish part of the town. Well, we went there with Yannine to check it out and we found this bakery where pretty much everything looked like in bakeries in Poland. We decided to attack cheese cake that looked amazing; the lady cut two pisces and said 9.60€ - WOW - nuts!!! The cake was good though :) 

I also met other couch surfers that introduce me to complicated world of Belgium beer - pretty much the same game as French play with their wine - after the second beer I was quite out of the game haha

Ah, I had my first souvenir from the trip and it's clod Mombasa ;) it's cycling jersey that I bought and at the same time (hopefully) become the member of this bar cycling team :) cool
Other stuff happened in Antwerp i guess...


I left with loads of bananas and Knoppers from Aldi :)
Again it was mega flat and I forgot what happened on the way except people here like to have some strange animals like zebras, pandas, dragons, polar bears, penguins - maybe not all of them.

I arrive to Eersel - small town close to Eindhoven and spent there really, really good time - another mega cool Couch Surfer. 
The Eersel experience was quite different then other places. I don't know how to write about it, but maybe I could tell later somehow. It was really beautiful!

Coffe here is slightly different. For last couple of months I lived with Italian people which means around 5 espressos a day - had to stop this as my eyelid started to twitch too much. Last time I was given a bit of Advocat to go with my coffee - luxury!


As I said before I'm in Germany and I don't really plan this trip too much anymore - I'm actually being invited to some random places that I'll probably visit. Yesterday I went to America for a bit ;) nice and sunny but one cannot get coffee there on Mondays - I had to leave then.

Hmm, now, there is (probably) only Germany left to cycle before I hit Poland, which will take quite a long time, and hopefully will be flat. I don't really want to pray for new chainset anymore :)

I slept in a bunker tonight !!!





















REVIEW OF THE DAY: DeFeet Woolie Boolie socks - as far as I'm aware there is no better socks on the planet - GENIUS!!!
