After our naps on the coach to Heathrow airport :) we flew to Belgium and arrived by early afternoon on Wednesday the 8th. Charlie lives south of the city, but he took the train in since we were all staying in Brussels for the night. That way we could explore the city (which Mom and Dad hadn't seen yet) and also be close to the train station since we were catching an early trip to Paris the next morning. I really, really like the city of Brussels. It's small enough to become familiar with the sights and easy to walk around. The Grand Place is a magnificent square with amazing buildings surrounding it and it's dotted with cafes and restaurants. From the Grand Place, we walked down the Rue de Bouchers (the lively restaurant street), visited Mannekin Pis (little boy statue who pees) and up towards the park, royal palace and cathedral.
Of course we had to try a famous Belgium waffle - delicious!
We fit a lot in a short afternoon, and then had to stop at a few cafes to enjoy the best beer in the world. We also had to introduce Mom and Dad to our fave kebab place for dinner - Sultans of Kebab (actually they spell them like kebap).
Brussels is beautiful in the evening - especially the Grand Place. So we had to have a beer or two to enjoy the beauty of the night!
Charlie and I enjoying one of our fave Belgium beers together - it's called Kwak. Yum!
