Waffles, Chocolate, Beer


Let's be honest now, there's really only one country that you can legitimately prefix to each of the above mentioned indulgences to suggest quality and abundance. Add to this mussels, fries, The Smurfs and Tin Tin and it becomes glaringly obvious that Belgium would make an interesting holiday destination.


I could do my usual trip breakdown, but really, it's the end of the year and I can't really be bothered. Put simply, Belgium was all about consumption. The consumption of food, drinking and atmosphere. Majority of our time was spent in Brussels, with a day trip to Bruges and a 10 minute wander around the block in Antwerp.


The outstanding events from this trip are as follows:
  • Fondest memory: Trudging in from the -2 degree weather into a warm Belgium Pub and spending the rest of the evening in front of a fire place sampling Belgian beer.
  • Forgettable moment: Some guy tried to mug one of us.
  • Regrettable decision: Exploring Antwerp.
