Sleeping on Benches in Kortrijk

I woke up not so happy, but still forced a shower upon myself and tried to down some food. I was nauseous, but not enough to throw up. We were going to go to Gent to check out some festival, but that was not going to happen. Instead we took a bus into Kortrijk, the nearest city, to have a look around there!

Unfortunately for some reason my stomach would not let up... I remained nauseous to the point where I fell asleep on a park bench clutching some pastry I was trying to down while Pete had a wander around. He returned to me feeling at least able to walk, so we found somewhere with wifi, I sort of figured out how to get to this party in Luxembourg (not really but I wrote down all the info), then we were off to a bike race...

We missed one of them, but when we arrived to the first one too late there was another in a different town nearby. We then went to that.

I was standing there feeling fine minus the nausea. This was starting to get really annoying because it didn't feel like I should still feel my stomach. I ate a burger and it went away finally!

I had been refusing beer at the race, and was feeling kind of grumpy until the nausea left. I felt bad about having been kind of anti-social, but after we returned to the cafe I had no choice... I refused beer and sat at a table wishing the internet would work, and editing photos in the meantime. I had tons of those to edit, but people were buying me beer... it was sitting on the table... people kept coming up to me and telling me to put the computer away and come join them...

I managed to hold off for a few hours probably... then I was sick of editing photos and accepted the beer and came over to talk to people. The hula hoops came out and there was a mini hula hoop party in the bar! People went crazy for them. At one point some of the people (most of which were wellllll over 45 btw) were so drunk one got up and started pretending to strip on a chair. Ohhhh man...

I ended up awake with the crew until a decent time, but soon enough it was time to go to sleep, since tomorrow included finding a party in the middle of the forest in Luxembourg without Nora's number or a clear idea of where it was.

Wahoo!
