Galloper: Tilburg is just happens to be in right place stop for night. Beside i like Tilburg, we stay in hotel De Lindeburg, Heuvelring 126. Middle of town, no cars allowed i believe. Only cars we see is townbus. Shops,bar, restaurant, etc close. We spend nice evening walking around, eating nice dinner in some little bar. Weather is really nice, sun shining and warm late in night. Eryngium: Sometimes life is great, sometimes itīs sucks. Right now when summer is over here up north is sucks. Those 3 or 4 weeks in every summer when i have holiday and can take trip like this is great Petri |
