Storms in Ostend

Why choose Ostend as your next storm-experience-location?

* Ostend is just a 80 min. train ride from Brussels, 40 min. from Ghent, or 90 min. from Antwerp.

* From the station, it's not even a 10 min. walk to reach the sea.

* The beach at the beginning of the coastal promenade isn't very broad, which means that if the tide is right during your chosen storm, the waves break directly on the stone foundation of the promenade, causing a spray that will give you wet feet (at the very least, see picture above) and lots of marvellous sound-effects.

* The coffee-machine in the entrance hall of the station serves first-rate hot coffee to warm you up before the return journey.

boomtown rats - I dont like mondays

I don't think this needs much explanation... It's monday again. I feel the way these guys look (okay, perhaps I'm exagerating a little now).

Glad to know my efforts weren't in vain. (If you read this at 2 a.m. after a refreshing mornings sleep: you ASS! Please ignore the above and be ashamed!!!)
