The ride thru Belgium

Belgium: So through the internet site bugeurope.com I managed to find a ride from Amsterdam to Paris for $20E. It was a tight ride with 5 guys in a mid-size Suzuki, but it wasn't too bad. Franklin our driver who makes the trip twice a month, Kareem (Parisian), Steve (Oz/England), and an Israeli whose name I could not pick up. We talked the way and Franklin even brought along coffee for everyone. He's got the drive down pat. We stopped in Antwerp and sampled some fresh Belgium chocolate. Delicious! And later Franklin took us on a little history tour of Arras, France. Very old architecture. It used to be the Dutch southern capitol before France took over. At about the 6 hour mark we got to Paris and since Kareem lived near Friends Hostel he directed us there via the Metro. Steve decided to hang there for the night so we both checked in, chilled with a little of Amsterdams reminents and went out to check out Paris.......
