Brussels, beers & Bruge

A superb sunny bank holiday weekend in Belgium with Vanny & Rashid, our weekend tour guides :) was relaxing & educational too. Karina & I explored as much as we could given the 3 day time limit we had.

1st port of call was the near by Waterloo memorial, basking in the sun south of Brussels.

we then headed into town to explore the centre of the capital.


Of course it wasn't all site seeing either. Waffels, Ice cream, Chocolates & beers all washed down an array of main course delights.


Day 2
Chez Van Gough

then Chilling in Mons post a long lunch, the heat knocked us out for a while!


Our final day of exploration was Brouge, smaller than Brussels but significantly more picturesque.


Canals & squares fill the city centre


Finally, on route home we stopped at Ypres for a round robin tour of a few World War I sites. However, with limited time & poor historical geography we found it ifficult to find our way around.
