Melinda at the borders of Germany, Netherlands and Belgium
Yesterday we went to the intersection of the borders of Germany, Belgium and Holland which was cool. There is a marker on the ground to show it. Then about 50 metres away, there is a marker which shows the highest point in Holland. So I have now summitted 2 of the highest peaks in countries around the world (Mt Kosziousco in Australia 2228m and whatever it was called in the Netherlands at the dizzying height of 322.5m). I am such a top mountaineer, I wont even bother with Everest, its such a fad thing to do at the moment. Maybe I'll go for something extreme like the highest point in Tokelau which is 5m above sea level.

Then we went out for tea in Liege (Belgium). That was really a bit of a waste of time as Leige is a dirty industrial/port city. But the food was excellent and the beer even better. They started making it (the beer) in a Monastery in 1128 according to the label (fortunately the one that I had was from a later batch...) It was so good that I was annoyed that I had to drive back to Germany to the hotel and had to stop at two!
