I spent the holidays in Monster (NL) this year. I'm flying back to Rome tomorrow. However for once that I stayed more than 2 days I took the chance to travel to Belgium. It was the first time I really came back to Belgium since my graduation in Nov 2008. I felt kind of "at home" :) In fact my network is mainly splitted between 2 countries: Belgium and Italy.I went to visit a couple of friends in Tournai. Tournai is south of Belgium, close to the french border (Lille) meaning I had to cross the whole country but it was easy. It is just 3h20 from The Hague and you only have to change trains once, in Bruxelles. Yes, Belgium is quite small crossing it from North to South will take you about 2h only! If you are between 12-25 years old you can take a Joung Benelux ticket, what is about 40% discount on the regular price. I used to travel between Belgium and the Netherlands every week-end when I was studying... and nothing really changed.
It was my second time in Tournai (I had slept once there in a young hostel for the wedding of the same friends I was visiting). Tournai is one of the oldest town in Belgium and I think it is worth the visit. Have a look!
