I was going to see what I could do about visiting the same time as Koldawne, but it didn't seem feasible. I was actually thinking of paying a short visit after a few days in the Netherlands visiting AP and Nemesiss; I was meant to talk to you about that :o Now seems like a good time :p
Well, too bad I was a bit late. Had to go and so on.

Maybe tomorrow (while I'm on the train, I'm off to Neerpelt tomorrow, 6+hrs on the road) ;)
How about Cologne, Aachen, Brugges, Stuttgart or France? I would really love to meet all you guys/gals since it won't be likely that I will be able to go back to Europe again for at least another 5+ years ;(

Also fine. From Aachen (Aix-la-Chapelle) it's easy to go back, if I have to, or I can ask someone if I can crash there for one night. Cologne would be doable too, but that's about it.
Bruges (Brugge) is acceptable. I can go to Middelkerke if needed.

Would be nice but isn´t it to much for one trip?

We're doing 10 cities in 3 weeks. No point to go all the way to WoA and not stop for a look around in a few places. Some like Aachen we are just hopping off the train, going to look at the cathedral and getting back on the train LOL I wanted to see that one the last time we came but we didn't get close enough to go. This time we go right by it and I would never forgive myself if we didn't stop.

Stuttgart is really just the rest point to pick up things and get organized before we jump on the Metal Train to Wacken. Cologne is just the point where we will be getting off the Metal Train so that we can have a straight trip into Belgium. I think there was a cathedral to see there also.

When you live on the other side of the world you tend to try to cram as much stuff in as humanly possible!

Well, just a small advice, if I were you, I'd see if you can book your ICE/Thalys trains from Cologne to Brussels now. It's cheaper than when you have to buy them just before you go.

ICE: www.bahn.com (in English)
Thalys: www.thalys.com (In French/English (and more))

Edit: The cathedral in Cologne is probably the Dom. It's right next to the Hauptbahnhof. Main exit, can't miss it.

I don't know about the Aachen cathedral though.
