Eurovision

Last weekend I was in the UK with two friends, to visit my English friends for our annual Eurovision party. So on Tuesday we left on time. Really on time since we had 1 ½ hour to spend before boarding the train. One of my friends who sails a lot, once has been in a harbor in France near Calais. So we went there to have our lunch on the beach and did an almost 1 ½ km trip to the end of the pier and back. We even could see Dover from there.


The next day we went shopping in Reading since I wanted to go to SportsDirect, a shop with cheap sports clothes. The shop wasn’t there anymore which was bit of a downer for me, but one of my English friends told me there was another big one near Sainsburys. After some shopping a beer on a terrace we went off to the mega store and I finally bought me my Lonsdale tracksuit and some shirts, shorts and underwear. That evening my two Dutch friends with whom I travelled with, cooked a lovely dinner. Don’t ask me where I all put it, but I ate a lot!!

Saturday we didn’t do much. I went for a small shopping trip with one of my English friends and helped him with creating his outfit for the evening. That evening we went to the Eurovision party which was great fun.

On Sunday a walk by the cannel and diner out in the Red Lion, this is one of my favorite pubs over there at the moment.

Home on Monday, except for the place we had lunch I try to forget as much as possible of that trip. We normally have lunch in the train from Dover to Calais, this time we had so much room behind the car, we started a picnic in the train. That was really funny.
