After France we made a stop in Belgium. We went to visit Brussels because there
is a lot of culture there. When we arrived we were happy that the weather was
nice. We have been away for several months now, and there is still no
government here. When we meet people abroad and we tell them we are from
Belgium, some of them came up with this fact. Actually, it was a little bit
strange to talk Dutch to other people again. Our French was already
well-practiced.
Though we are from Belgium, some of us didn't see some Belgian curiosities yet.
We behaved like real tourists in our own country and visited the Atomium and
Mini-Europe that is situated behind the Atomium. We passed the Royal Palace and
the beautiful park near it.
Because I haven't seen my parents for a while they came to Brussels and
we had dinner together. It was nice talking to them and hearing some news from
home. Unfortunately, after dinner they had to turn back home. The trip ends in
a month so it wont take too long till I see them again.
The next
day we went to the Marollen to visit the well-known flea market. While we were
there, we also went to see the courthouse. Of course, we couldn't leave
Brussels without seeing Manneke Pis! We couldnt stay long in Brussels because
we had to move forward to Germany.
