Last weekend I went to Belgium and had an amazing time. I went by train on the eurostar which took about two hours traveling from London through Paris and up into Belgium. The entire time was spent in Brussels wondering around seeing all their was to see. I stayed in a hostil which was almost right on the grand palace square. The grand palace is the heart of the city where there is lots to see and do. It was quite the site during the day as well as at night. The architecture there was beautiful so many old buildings. I visited a lot of old cathedrals as well as some museums. My favorite parts of Belgium were the public gardens as well as the royal palace park and the royal palace gardens themselves. There was so much to see in such a short amount of time but the trip was amazing. I tried some of the local fair.... waffles and chocolate my favorite. I bought some chocolate to bring back with me so I am still enjoying it. As for the waffles I went with the philosophy that a waffle a day keeps the doctor away if only that were true. So needless to say I had a few waffles on my trip ranging from the plain waffle and powdered sugar which was a nice breakfast treat to the waffle with chocolate and strawberries on top which was a nice late night snack. The trip was a huge success with no major issues I got all my trains on time and had little problems finding my way around. It was nice that most people in Belgium spoke several languages either Dutch, French, and quite a few even spoke english which helped me out a lot. Belgium was a blast and I would go back in a heart beat. On my way back home from Belgium I decided to stop in and take a ride on the London Eye. It was dark out by the time I went on so it was magical seeing the London city all lit up at night. Big ben and the houses of parliment were very clearly visable and it was just an amazing experience. I put my fear of heights aside and had an awesome trip around the london eye.
