We spent a day in Brussels on Thursday, soaking up some of the sights. It is definitely a beautiful city, but after being spoiled in Brugge, we were not as impressed. We toured around for a few hours though, ducking in to a cafe to indulge in the cities finest-- Belgian waffles. Yummm.
We then searched for what some people consider to be the symbol of Brussels, Manneken Pis. A very, very small statue of a little boy peeing in to a fountain. That is all. It is supposedly the worlds most disappointing tourist attraction...it definitely holds up to that.
For dinner, more of Diana's relatives took us in, and cooked us a wonderful meal. Her relatives, Els and Peter, were so sweet and welcoming, it was nice to have a home cooked meal. We ended up staying there for the night.
Diana left us early the next morning, embarking on her own tour of Europe, which was beginning in London. We said our goodbyes, and then Skip and I had to figure out where we were setting off to. We had no idea....but that was the excitement of it!
We eenie meanie minie moed, and chose Amsterdam for the weekend!
Off we go!!!
