Hello everyone, I will be starting a 2-week long, daily (if I have access to the internet) "series" of my trip to West-Europe. I do not know yet where we will end our trip, because we will see where it is sunny. Also, I would want to excuse me in advance for any grammar/spelling mistakes that I would have made, because as you might know: I'm from Belgium. I will also add pictures to my posts too, so you guys can see what I'm doing over there. There will be time stamps included in my posts, and those are GMT+1 (summer time). Oh, and before I forget: correct grammar and spelling mistakes if you would happen to see any? Ok, introduction is over, now to the first day of my trip.
Day 1:
9:21 - We are driving through Luxemburg right now, three hours of driving done. I'm a bit bored, so I thought of this to pass the time
I have eaten 'Loops' for breakfast , I'm tired but I can't sleep... We have already made one "Pit-Stop" . Yes, that's our car, if you can even call that a car... More like a mini-van to me, but whatever. I'm reading the map on this crappy laptop that I brought with me, and I hope there will be free wifi-connection on our camping. I also have to tell you guys that if I don't have free wifi, I will have to skip some days, because it's not worth it to pay for that. Well, that's all for now, I sure hope you guys will enjoy these "diary-posts" as much as I will writing them. Autom3, signing out 
12:44 - Still driving, we have had lunch about 15 minutes ago. I don't have that much too say for now, so bye!
22:16 - Going to bed right now, had a very boring day because it was mostly driving. I have eaten a very delicious pizza though We're staying in a B&B (with wifi!) for now, because it was raining all the time, so we couldn't set up our tent.
Day 2:
9:32 - Sitting in the car again. We're travelling to France right now (Castellane to be precise). It's a 5h ride and I really don't feel like sitting in the car for 5 more hours... I sure hope that I'll have more free wifi access the next weeks! I've talked to Bird and Indigo this morning without microphone, but they were playing starcraft. Oh well. I've had a very good sleep, but my parents didn't think of it that way, because we were right next to a trainstation. Apparently I'm a very good sleeper, although I can't get sleeping that fast...
18:47 - Hehhh, no free wifi here... It's like €2 for 15 minutes! That's way too much! We've just set up our tent and we have a nice view. This camping is quite good, downsides are: no free wifi, too many wasps and there's allot of noise from the cars that are passing by. We're going to a restaurant again this evening, because we have no food to cook. Maybe we'll do a barbeque tomorow, who knows. Oh well, no internet for 4 days at least: SUCKS.
Day 3:
10:28 - Oh my god, these wasps are so annoying. We did have a delicious breakfast though. We ate a big baguette, "Flute" they call it here. That's the thing I do love about France: Their bread and croissants are amazingly good! Took some pictures of the inside of our tent. We're gonna ride around a bit today. For example: right next to the river "Verdon". People go rafting and canyonning on that river, so we might end up doing that too
Day 5:
15:37 - Yay, we ate croissants 'n stuff today. If I would translate what I ate litteraly, it would be this: I ate 1 croissant, 1 raisins-and-puddingbread and 1 chocolatebread. I don't know how you guys call them but whatever. Also, weird that I skipped one day, oh well. Today my mum and I became a bit worried, because my dad went riding on his bike, and he said he was going to be back in 2 hours and 30 minutes. OK, we said. 2:30h later (it was 12 'o clock then), he still wasn't back... 1 hour later, still no dad back here? My mum sent him a message saying: "Send something back, because we're starting to get worried." No answer... 30 minutes later we decided to call him, and just when my mum was to press the "start calling button" he arrived. He was exhausted, but content. He was gone for about more than 4 hours riding his bike. Oh my God...
Day 7:
18:35 - Yay, changing campings tomorow! We're going to the "Mont-Ventoux", lets hope I will have free wifi there! I'm exhausted now, because we have walked a great lot today. We took a lot of pictures too. We also saw some big birds (I forgot their name in English...). I've eaten some very good fries/chips (whatever you prefer to read
) with a very well-cooked hamburger. Skiped the diary yesterday too, because I forgot? Oh well, yesterday we drove over some mountains, then my dad climbed one with his bike too! That was amazing. Ate a bad-cooked pizza yesterday... *sadface*. My dad just arrives from his bike-trip, he says it was exhausting (again). Well, I'm going to play some old-school MineCraft now (v1.0.15 ftw).
Day 8:
13:49 - Damn, I was almost able to use the internet in an internet-cafe, but it failed
Too bad, well I'm hoping that I will be able to access in the village right next to our camping... About the weather: it sucks bad as hell, it has been raining all day long, almost everywhere in europe it's raining right now! Well i'll add some more later on, but now I have to help my dad navigate through the streets
Day 9:
8:24 - Wow, just WOW... Wanted to take a shower this morning (like every morning), and the closest bathroom-thingy had a shit in it, yea you read it right: There was a F-in shit in the shower... OMG. Well, I just went to the other bathroom-thing on our camping, and guess what: they were cleaning it! Talkin' about a 'Good Morning'...
14:47 - Posted the poll earlier, hope you guys will enjoy reading it if you vote for it. I also hope that nobody votes for the last option... My dad also climbed the "Mont Ventoux" on his bike this noon, he said that the "going down" part was the most boring thing he'd ever done. I lol'd. I really hope i will be able to access the computer building more often, so I can update and be active on the forums!
Day 10:
8:13 - Yippee! I was able to take a shit-free shower this morning! Also filtered out the best of our pictures a moment ago. We're gonna go to the place with the PC's again today, so I can see what you guys want me to post on the forums. I really hope you guys will enjoys what you chose. I also downloaded MineCraft 1.7.3 with SPC and TMI so I can mess around with pistons some more. I have a nice project in my mind, and I'll need the help of someone you all know (If he wants to do it is his choice of course). Well, I hope that notch fixes the sand-dupe bug sometime, so we can use pistons. I'm gonna go eat now, cya on the forums then
This is the end for now, but i'll be adding more updates on this thread from now on!
