Miel Van Kest
We recently went for dinner at Miel Van Kest in Tremelo. It had been a while since we had last been here and wondered if the place had changed much. The interior was still the same and the owners also hadn’t changed. The type of food you get here and the quality was still very…
The Terminator
After having watched the Daniel Craig James Bond movies I decided to “binge” watch another franchise. I saw the original Terminator movie in the theatres when it came out in 1984 as I was 15 year old and at the time it blew me away as a revolutionary movie. Watching it again after a couple…
A Pota Marina
After a day visiting Bastia we stopped for dinner on the way back to our apartment in Santa Lucia di Moriani. We ate at A Pota Marina right next to the sea. They describe the setting as idyllic but that is slightly exaggerated. I consider the neighbourhood too touristic and crowded. Plus, too many people…

Internet Services Discoveries
Because I doing the 100 Days of Code Python course I am discovering all kinds of information that is programmatically available on the internet. The latest one is latlong.net. On this site you can type in the name of a city and get the latitude and longitude back. It also gives you gps coordinates. Another…
Bastia, Corsica
One of our days on Corsica we spent visiting Bastia. We had been there on our previous visit and judging purely on size and population Bastia is more a village than a city. But walking around there it gives you the feeling of being in a bigger city. It has nice bars, restaurants and shops…
Local Markets near Bravone on Corsica
During our vacation on Corsica we went to a couple of markets. The first one was a Thursday morning market near Bravone where they had a lot of local produce. We bought some spicy olive oil and wine from a vineyard nearby. But it was too hot in the sun to really enjoy it. There…
Quizzes and Quizlets
As mentioned in several other posts I am following a Python course on Udemy and what started as search for a suitable Python course for my kids turned out to be a Python journey for myself generating new skills and ideas for private projects such as my own ‘quizlet app’ and in a more general…
Spectre
Spectre is the penultimate James Bond movie with Daniel Craig playing James Bond. Together with the last one it forms one continuous storyline. In it we finally meet up with Spectre again, the ominous crime organisation we already know from older James Bond movies. We also meet Blofeld and discover a close connection between Blofeld…
Porto-Vecchio on Corsica
During our summer vacation on Corsica we visited a few villages and towns. One was Porto-Vecchio. This is a charming old fortified harbour town, typical for Corsica. Although it was less than a 100km away from where we were staying it turned out to be another day trip. Of course, we were taking it easy…
