Luxurius Belgium

So it was onto the Eurostar for the crossing of the channel, first destination : Brussels. Famed for its beer, chocolate and hailed as a boring city, it didn't disappoint. Luckily it was the first city so really things could only get better right? Well Brussels decided to rain on our parade. Because not only was it raining heavily with winds rivaling that of our little city of Perth (3rd windiest in the world according to Tooheys' bottle caps) but it also happened to be a bank holiday... I hate Belgium. Everything was closed, it was pissing down, I was falling over all the time because I had gripless shoes and we had two pathetic but endearing umbrella's named cheeky and flirty. They didn't last long, but did re-affirmed our hetrosexuality.

Meet Flirty:

Still we did get to see its beautiful square and a urinating statue. Interesting meal of the city would have been the fillet americans which turns out to be completely raw beef mince with capers/garlic/herbs etc. in it! We happily enjoyed this meal while a dog under the next table looked longingly at it.

The best night out by far involved alcohol. Started off at the beer circus, where we finally understood what monks get up to when they are not discovering mendelian genetics or growing beans... brewing alcohol - lots of it! We even got a monk to pour for us.

Then we decided to go to this random resteraunt in the middle of no where. We have no idea how we got there, the food and service was fantastic and we met our twins! After, it took us 2 hours to get home when it really should of taken us 30 minutes, met some real characters, and managed to direct a lost tourist to a place we did not know.

I love looking at photos after a great night out.

Bruges was next on the map and after a somewhat hung-over train journey we arrived and finally saw some sun! Glorious! Unfortunately we, like Crowded House says, take the weather with us. After a short siesta we were woken by sloshing out side our room. We discovered that within the space of an hour it went from happy shiney to torrential rain and flash flooding... with water entering our building. I hate Belgium.

Still after that it cleared up and got to look around this tourist over-ridden city, ate $2 pasta, their famous chips, got shooshed whilst whispering in a church, saw REAL chocolate boobies (I love knorx!!!!!) and even met Napoleon Dynamite (look a like)! GOSH!!... you IDIOT!!! Belgium is ruining my Life! Then we left.
