Visited end-of-the-year performance in ballet school for children. That was lots of fun! Kids are so endeavored to perform, but they are too little and cute to do everything right ))

Road to the start

2. Flags on the mountain in the background mark the track. And on the foreground in the right bottom corner you can find a Maboge “beach”. It’s not clean on the photo, but the fifth person can barely fit there.

3. In the camp it was very dirty.

4. A queue for the food supplies – hamburgers!

5. View to Maboge town, where the race took place. On the left side of the bridge you can see the “beach” from prev. photo.

6. Starting queue

7. The track was very technical with lots of roots, a few gaps and very fast steep descents at the end.

8. Many berms, some of them were very soft, which led to minor crashes. Don’t worry, nobody got hurt.

9. Met only few pro-photographers, which is quite strange for event like this.

10. Gap

11. Stuards was sleeping and blow their whistle lazily when racers passed by.

12. Another gap

13. The gap with the view

14. Quicky =)

15. And to close the post – a beautiful picture of the church and the citadel of La Roche-en-Ardenne

Main ingredient for best beer is malt, hops and yeast. And then add what you like – fruits, spices, coffee, anything else

2. On the festival entrance one gets a special 15cl glass and can buy a brochure with list of all beers and breweries.

3. Every brewery have a small stand with beers.

4. Many foreigners visit this festival in Belgium, because it’s the only place where some rare beers can be tasted.

5.

7. “Goeie Coffee” – beer with strong coffee taste. Ideal for a morning

13. Here’s a beer with 10% alc.

14. Notice a special gadget where one can put a glass so it will hang on the neck. Very useful!

Yesterday, 10.10.2011 Mikhail Gorbachev held a conference in University of Liege.

2. He looks well for he’s 80th anniversary.

3.

5. As a true politician he never gives a straight reply to any question.

6. In the end, Mikhail Gorbachev received the title of doctor honoris causa from University of Liege.

2. The park developed from the playground for kids of pilgrims to an amusement park.

3. It was not aimed to big modern attractions but rather was an easily accessible and inexpensive park for children.

4. The main attraction of the park was 800 meters long suspended bridge along the perimeter of the park.

5. The bridge was the longest in Europe at the moment.

6. There’re still attractions in the park, but most of them are overgrown.

7. For several years there was attempts to breath the new life in the park.

8. New since 1980:
* Witch hut
* 3rd animal park
* Expanded Winnetou terrain
* Children paradise
// The management is not responsible for accidents.

9. The menu of the cafe – prices are in Belgian and French francks (Bfr and Ffr)

10. The "Nautic Jet" attraction.

11.

12.

13. In 2002 it was announced that the park would be closed for one year renovation, but it was never reopened since.

14. Since 2004 many companies were interested in buying the park and reconstruct it to more modern amusement park with attractions like "Log ride".

15. After much discussions they were ready to sign the planning regulations.

16. But apparently it was hard for investors to come over the bridge. The area falls under the term "daily recreation" which means it should be easily accessible and should only have commercial profit from 15 to 20 percent.

17. In 2005 action committee "Save Dadipark" was established to accelerate the park redeveloppement and reopening.

18. After several meetings of the committee the developer promised a quick solution. The park would be revitalized in the short term, renewing a water system, a hall and game shops.

19. The bridge and the big slide should be preserved.

20. The only problem was the regional plan, where Dadipark is registered as recreation area. In 2011, there is no prospect of redevelopment of the park and it is becoming increasingly difficult to attract investors.

21. Reopening therefore seems more unlikely than ever. In the summer of 2011 a van was set on fire, showing that the security is inadequate.

22. On September 20, 2011 was therefore announced that the Municipality of Moorslede have a demolition permit approved and will organize clean-up.

23. Let’s walk around the park, anyway. It’s open for everybody and was quite vandalized. But some graffity are nice.

24. Skateboarders build a small skatepark inside a main hall.

25. Small pleasure train will never carry passengers again…

26. A small house in the middle of a labyrinth

27. Spiral staircase leads to the top of slide ride.

36. Another fun attraction – it can roll and tilt.

37. More swings

38. Swings

39. One of the swings were not overgrown enough, so we ride it!

40. Next there was a rope ride.

41. It’s awesome!

42. It becomes even better because one rides between trees

43. Model of a ship. Purpose unknown.

44. A big slide.
