Twenty-five minutes drive south-east of Brussels, and just south of the French-Brussels language border is the town of Wavre, on the outskirts of which is a theme park, Walibi Belgium. Originally opened in 1975 by Eric Meeus (there is a plaque in his honour just inside the gates), the park has changed names a number of times in the few years we have lived here ? Walibi, Six Flags and back to Walibi again. On part of the complex, there is Aqualibi, which is a water theme park, but since I have never been inside, this review will only deal with the park. Aqualibi is subject to a separate charge from the main park.
WHAT RIDES ARE THERE?
Walibi is a serious theme park, with lots of rides that you would expect at places like Alton Towers or Chessington World of Adventures. The park has classified the rides under four headings ...

Taking advantage of some exceptionally good travel offers from an on-line travel agent we recently spent a five-day ?City break? exploring Belgium. We had been to Brussels before (a short pre-Christmas trip about five years ago) so heeding the advice of that CIAO sage Proxam we decided to see some more of the country than just the capital. We were also quite curious to experience for ourselves the suggested ?Unity of Europe? there at the heart of the Community. Maybe we would be able to divine something of the truth behind all the current political and economical manoeuvrings. After all I have been more than happy to use the Euro because it has the attraction of being foreign ? just as long as it remains so! I have also enjoyed other trips to foreign lands ? it is the foreignness that makes them so appealing.

Advantages: Long-lasting, loads of colours, cute packaging, no creasing/fading Disadvantages: Price
The latest product to come from the French cosmetics brand, Bourjois is Suivez Mon Regard, a loose eyeshadow in a little pot, complete with a mini-brush and screw-on lid.
I was wandering around Superdrug, and spotted these on sale. Of course I had to have them! The cute little pots had me interested instantly. They retail at £6.50, but they were £1 off. There were a huge variety of colours, from green to purple, and I decided on 05 Regard Gris Pepites, a sparkly grey.
The pot weighs 2.6g, and offers no clue about how much eyeshadow you actually get for your money. It is tested under ophtamological control, and has been tested on contact lens wearers, so should be fine for people with sensitive eyes. Mine weren't particularly irritated, but then again, I don't have sensitive eyes!
There doesn?t seem to be a lot of actual ...
