Apologies for the lack of information in yesterdays post, although it is fun to use an azerty keyboard, it doesn't make it easy to type in the Tourist Information. The train journey to Brussels was an amusing one, with the diversion, and Sams not being able to open the doors at Newark. This continued onto the Eurostar where the security staff looked at the petrol stove for quite a while before being convinced that it was empty, they then couldn't undertsand what it really was, and that it really did run on the same liquid that they put into their cars, some surprised staff in St Pancras Intl.
On the Eurostar more laughter followed Sam trying to open the door to the 'toilet'. Firstly he couldn't open it, and then when we showed him how, he went in and looked for the toilet. He came back to ask us where the toilet was in that cubicle, we later found that it was the baby change that he had been into. We did say that we were not going to help him change his nappy.
The jokes changed to Kevin on arrival at Brussels, when he stalled the car twice on the way out of the carpark. He is now on a total of 4, the same number as Sam had in Germany. His excuse is that it does not handle like an LDV, or a quadbike.......
John spent the car journey reading the user manual, or looking at the pictures to be more accurate. These explained how to get into the glove box to find the user manual. He tried to explain the Cruise Control. Never heard of that on an LDV Convoy.
The first full day in Belgium was spent in Gent, and on site. The team made their final preperations for the expedition, and received their final brief. They really should have taken their minor project document to Gent with them, to remind themselves what the options were.
The evening was spent laying on the grass looking at these options and trying to decide which ones they would like to do. They also started their video diaries, and joined some Belgian Scouts playing a game with a rugby ball. 
Day 1 started with the team packing their tents, and preparing to leave site. Sam says that he is all ready, we'll leave that for the reader to decide....................The team set off yesterday at around 10.40 from Brugge Train Station, heading off for their first Brewery Tour.
They soon found out that they had not booked the hostel for that night correctly, and searched around Brugge to find another hostel for the night. They soon found one on the outskirts, and advised the supervising team of their changes.
Early this morning they headed back into Brugge, and found a Driving School office where they went to discuss the driving licences for Belgium, a part of one of their minor projects.
Shortly after this they boarded the train to Kortrijk, and another change of plan ensued. The team continued by train to Tournai, and found a site close by.
They are now safely on their campsite for the night.
More tomorrow.
