First week back
Got here safe, getting the bike here was really hard. So much work, but I didn't
get charged anything extra by AirCanada or Eurostar to get it here, which is great.
Thursday we went to a concert at the ABClub. Of course 27 Euros later, use of toilets was still 0.40 Euros. Great venue, and the drummer was awesome.
Saturday morning I started riding in a mountain bike club. They meet several times a week for a ride dans la foret. My first ride with them kept me on my bike for 4 hours, it was a great time - single track, double track, power lines and a tiny bit of pavement.

Saturday night was spent at Delirium; famous for having 2500 beers to choose from. The menu was the size of a phone book. My first selection was a fairtrade coconut beer from Nigeria. Who put sunscreen in my beer? After that selections were more traditional and local.
Sunday morning we went to see the Fabergé Eggs (as seen in Oceans 12, Coronation Egg) at Place Royale, an exhibition of works by the Russian jeweller Carl Fabergé (1849-1918). As seen in this photo, the line up was long and it was raining, so we read about the eggs on the internet.
Tonight is Super Bowl Pre Party Night. Lots of parties being held for the game knowing full well noone is going to watch the game. The game starts at 1AM local time. So they are pre parties, not game parties. Also, the Six Nations Cup started Saturday, so the Irish and British pubs have been full this weekend.
