I thought I'd give you a few more glimpses from our travels in the Netherlands and in Belgium. In Tongeren we stayed at Hotel Eburon, a monastery from the 12th century built in the middle of the old, Roman town, now transformed into the most amazing hotel.

The Eburon is a part of the small, Belgian Different Hotels chain. Its origin is still clearly visible in the magnificent corridors but also in the guest rooms. They all have very high ceilings and large double door windows. The colour palette is mainly pink-red-brown-lime (which T. wasn't too thrilled about), but he agreed when I said the design was very well executed. The hotel opened last year and it still feels new. The people who work there are extremely helpful and friendly, the restaurant is really good and the town centre in Tongeren, with its famous Begijnhof, is really cute. Angelic is probably the best description.
