In my blog of June 24th I talked about my plan to make a sailing trip with Club Canary on Tenerife. Nice introduction! Meanwhile, I met Roy in his office in the Plaza del Duque shopping center. My first observation was that he was a lot younger than I had …
With its 30 hectares, the Kapermolenpark is the most extensive green space within the city center of Hasselt. For many people living in Hasselt, it is their green spot close to the city center: for jogging, walking the dog, letting the children play, skating… The park is also an important …
