We only get 30 minutes out of Brussels when the train stops because a crane has dropped its boom across the tracks.

Milou, or Snowy as he’s known in English, looks worried.

After an hour wait, we end up in Mechelen with one bus for over 200 people. We share a taxi with a Dutch guy to Antwerp.Antwerp station has a beautiful interior but the trains we want keep getting cancelled.

We thought about going to Amsterdam because there were trains leaving for there but our bags are in Groningen. We had to get back there.

We got another taxi to take us Rotterdam.

Above, we’re in Rotterdam waiting for the train to Groningen — I hope!
