Day 5- Brussels

We left the hotel at 7am for the train station. Traveling by train is so much better than flying. I wish we could do it more often. 

We arrived in Brussels at noon and after dropping our bags at our hotel, we went to find Delirium Cafe. We had a little misunderstanding and ended up at the wrong place but it was a fortune mistake because they had very delicious salads and we were in desperate need of some vegetables. Even with that, Nate still had a meter of beer (10 in the flight) in his hands less than 2 hours after arriving in Belgium. 

The alley it was in was so cool AND the statue I wanted to see the most was in the same alley!

After drinking all the beer, we went to the Comic Arts Museum. 

Next we wandered around the Grand Place where I bought a lot of chocolate and a waffle topped with ice cream. 

Finally, we had a traditional Belgian dinner (mussels for Nate and stewed beef for me- both came with frites). 

Our hotel is small (just 4 rooms) and our room is small too, but it seems nice and it's definitely close to everything. Glad the temperatures have cooled a bit as there is no AC here either.
