Language Specialist

So I got a formal job offer today. I'm starting on the 15th of January.

What this means is that very (I mean really really very) early in the morning on the 11th I'll set off to the east coast of Iceland, some 860 km, car filled with stuff, to take the ferry to Denmark. Two days later I'll arrive in Hanstholm, and from there it's a mere 1106 km to Gent. Lovely Gent. She of the three towers. The Leie, frietjes and Augustijn. Where waffles are cheap and widely available, and chocolate drips like dew from every straw.

It's going to be some trip.

Actually I haven't decided how I'm going there, I might just take a plane, but we'll see. Taking the ferry has the benefits of having a car, and being able to bring alot more stuff. But it takes days.

In any case.

Alea iacta est.

Hurrah!

Bravo, Beertje! Looking forward to welcoming you back! I kinda like the idea of doing the trek by ferry/car. Yeah, it takes days, but maybe it should. I don't know, there's something romantic about it.
