The Streek GR Kust had been on my must-hike list for a while and I'm so glad I finally went and did it!

Infamous for its high rise buildings and concrete boardwalks, this trail will show you that there is in fact a very different side to the Belgian coast too. The trail alternates between beach, dunes and woodland, making for a varied view along the way. Don't forget to circle back to the boardwalk sometimes for a much deserved waffle or ice cream! 😉

Ps: the trail is 103km in total. I stopped earlier to meet my friends in Knokke.

I am probably supposed to make this a sentimental post about how messy 29 was and how I had to come back to myself at 30 and figure out how to do life alone. But I'm currently rushing to get to work and I have zero inspiration as to what to say. I just wish that 31 will be (at least a little) less rocky than the past two years, so that I may finally have a chance to feel the world around me. Goodness knows I need it. Also, buying a dryer would be nice. 

Virtual 🥂 and 🍰 for all of you!

Europe, France, Travel · 15 September 2011

Versailles

A little outside of paris there’s a beautiful domain named Versailles. The castle seems like it’s made of gold and the gardens are immense! Versailles was my favorite part of our trip (and probably K’s too). We had amazing weather, all the flowers were blossoming and the ponds were full of people in little boats. To add to all the magic there was music by Mozart. This year we also had time to visit the Marie Antoinette mansion. We took a nap under a tree, drank fresh orange juice, wandered around the gardens and went for Starbucks afterwards. Oh, how I miss the strawberry cream frappucinos!

I have to get back into the swing of blogging. I have been ignoring my mails and comments for way too long and I haven’t read my google reader for ages. I promise to get to it ASAP, but right now I have work and drivers lessons and school starts again this monday. 
Loves,
Nikki
