Put on a sad song to relive a happy memory.
The last
few days of EEET2012, we stayed in Zadar as this was the city from wich we
would take a Ryanair flight back to Belgium.
We arrived
here on Friday night, after the canyooning, and found ourselves surrounded by
at least 8 people offering their place or a studio to us. We decided to go
along with a women who’s brother in law had a free floor. Yes indeed, for a
mere 11€ per person we had a whole floor with 2large bedrooms, a private
bathroom, a big living room (with huge flat screen) and a kitchen. We took it straight away and headed to the
supermarket, open until at least 9PM in
Croatia. After coming back form the supermarket
we watched the Opening Ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics and we all,
Liesbeth more than all of us together though, got excited about it.
The next
two days, the last days of our stay, we did some sightseeing in the city of
Zadar, really nice city –but rather small, and we hit the beach for some chilling
and relaxing. Toon took part in the Millenium Jump
while I was at the hospital, nothing bad though. I had around 15 splinters in
my foot and we didn’t really know if the mussels and sea urchin, who’s parts were
in my left foot, would be bad or not. Nothing bad, luckily, and we enjoyed our
last days of EEET2012.
On Sunday night
we were having our last meal in a restaurant, enjoying the sunset –known as one
of the most beautiful ones of Europe, and it really was amazing!- when suddenly
a friend of mine from KHLeuven, Maxime, yelled my name. They were having dinner
right next to us, in Zadar, Croatia! He and his girlfriend had also made a trip
around Eastern Europe through: Hungary, Austria, Slovenia and Croatia and they
as well were flying back the next day with Ryanair! How small is this world,
really !
So the next
day we packed our stuff, left for the airport and flew back home. The end of
EEET2012 had come to a beginning and while flying back home, and tacking the
train from Charleroi-Sud to Mechelen, thoughts about a next trip were already
popping up.
This trip,
EEET2012, had been amazing. The friends I travelled with and met up with had
been awesome. The people I met had been great. The places we've been to have surprised me in a way I can't explaing properly, although I did try writing about it on my blog. Everything, except for perhaps
the budget, had gone more or less as planned, or as not-planned. I must say it
was way better than expected. Thank God for that, wouldn’t you agree?
peace out _

This is the
end of my blogging on EEET2012. Maybe some more anekdotes will follow, we have
some good ones, but they will not be related to the travelling as were the past
posts. I hope that in the future, maybe, some travelers will read this and maybe
use it for their purpose, enabling them to enjoy this trip as much as I
have. Thank you for reading you all. It really
means a lot to me –a bit of commenting now and then wouldn’t hurt though! Haha. All the way down this post you'll find the map of the actual route we followed during EEET2012. Be sure to check it out!
Thank you
Pawel, Justyna, Silke, Wojciech, Billie, Sebastian, Segundo, Kate and Joaquin.
And above
all thank you: Heike, for finally giving us some peace of Toon who missed you
terrible, thank you Liesbeth, for being the kind, cute and amazing support and
girlfriend that you are, and thank you Tony Starr, for accompanying me all the
bloody 27days from f*ckin’ Day 1 to day 27. I don’t know how you survived me
and my bullsh*t but you did and you even smiled during it! So thank you all, because without only one of you, the chain, the line, the whole frame of this trip wouldn't have been the same...
peace out
and cheerios_
Thibault
