Day 32: waffles and beer

A morning stroll was in order so han and I strolled through the gardens. Three of us found an "accidental discovery" market on morning stroll number 2. We left for Brussels then but our journey was interrupted when the Belgium train staff decided to go on strike. Thus we had time to walk the main street of Antwerp - unfortunately with the accompaniment of crush (and the other packs). An hour later we were back on the train to Brussels.  Brussels is cool. We wasted no time in exploring. It was night time the first time we saw grand square but it was grand all the same and we were super impressed being encased by looming grand buildings. It was not an uncomfortable encasing nor intimidating, just awing and impressive. The next thing we saw (and couldn't pass off) were Belgium waffles. Warm, fresh, scrumptious. Then it was dinner time. It was difficult to miss the Lygon street - style eateries and too much to pass up the offer of a 12.50 three-course meal with a bargained deal of including extra desert, a glass of vino and a coffee. Entree was prawns, main grilled fish and desert waffles again but with hot choc sauce and cream + choc mousse. Delightful way to end the day. Liz and Jess were sleepy as but the rest of us went across the road to a pub that had 25 beers on tap. Pretty impressive and a difficult choice!
