Once I had to follow a Flemish mason by car. He was going at one and a half times of the speed limit and along the way we passed several car crashes that very obviously happened because of high speed. I mean, if there is a straight road , no other car seems to have been involved and the car is lying in the ditch, this is my conclusion. The worst thing though was that we passed Leopoldsburg on the way and because it is a garrison town there were tanks riding around in the street. On the other hand there were also some wonderful landscapes, a forest and one of these wonderful Dutch drawbridges, something that would make me stop or drive slow to be able to take in the beauty, but like in a wild chase it was all flying by. At our destination when our guide got out of his car, he commented that because of us he had been driving rather slow, while I was happy that we got there in one piece.
"Liever snel naar de hell dan traag naar de hemel/ Rather quick to hell than slow to heaven" ;)
