May Day at Hastings

As the weather was great, I visited Hastings on May Day. Unfortunately I didn't realise that was the same day everyone else South of London goes to Hastings as well - including hundreds of bikers. The place was absolutely heaving and it was impossible to find anywhere to eat lunch without a reservation, but fortunately after climbing the cliffs it became a lot quieter. I ended up sitting down on the grass looking over the town and enjoying an ice cream to keep cool.

Dutch Beer Experience - Rodenbach

Last weekend Mrs Game Fugu and I stayed with friends in Izegem, a small city in Belgium close to Ghent and Bruges. The first thing we did, after eating a few waffles, was try the local brew - Rodenbach. It was my first time trying a red ale (mixed from young and aged ales), and it tasted pretty good.

Of course, as a Belgian beer it was also pretty strong...
