^That ride was suprisingly brutal. I thought for sure I had crushed poor Ron as we came into the brakes.

Great photos, it's good to see even more good trip reports from the Europe trip and I hope there are many to come.
This is my signature, quite amazing isn't it...

Time for another update....
Day 2 of the trip started with a Visit to Walibi Belgium..

Couple of years ago i had already visited this park.. the crowds were insane that day.. so i hoped for better this time.. and especially getting all the stuff done i did not do the last time...

Well.. in the end... i still have to go back someday.. crowds were "insane" that day... and i just don't like long lines...

But at least i had a lot of fun this day..

enough said.. picture time..

next update will be the aventure parc wavre....

Hanno - the phrase caught on camera was never more appropriate. Kudos to Melanie who yet again has managed to pull off another park promo shot (reminder to everyone the of the flying chair pic starring MB - was that one of yours also Hanno??)

There are some fantastic pics involving looks of concentration, just goes to show that TPR trips extoll the virtues of healthy living (and expose those that perhaps have not lived so healthily in recent years aka ME)

Loving the report Hanno...many thanks

Great pics Hanno as this ranks as one of my favorite days ever on a TPR trip, even if I couldn't finish the black course. F'in stirrup things. :devil:
