belgium bunnies
hi! belgium chocolate, fries and waffles ) i dont know how they arent all just rolling down the street - but i got to say i like their taste!! and the smell of belgium - you can smell waffles cooking nearly everywhere you go - yuuummmm....
i got to antwerp for the markets - apparently that was lucky for me I got told at the tourist bureau - not sure how lucky tho... but i did get to pat some baby bunnies! and went thru this underriver tunnel to get to the left bank which was pretty cool...
Brussels is ok - the central square is very impressive - particularly as it put on a rainbow backdrop for me! but i agree with everyone that Bruges is definitely nicer (altho the backpakcers in brussles at least has shower doors unlike in Bruges where it ws a mere flimsy shower curtain separating you from the outside world!) Bruges it reminded me of venice a bit - but more laidback and less touristy (altho bruges is touristy for belgium!) and i suppose if you are going to get picky different architecture etc and seemed a bit friendlier... but would definitely recommend Spa - oldest health spa in europe - it got famous from the russian tsar Peter the Great getting cured from its waters... it was a really quaint little village - really nice - would definitely go back there. it is near the longest underground river in the world - you can go on a cave boat ride thru part of it... Spa is in the Ardennes - which is hilly for Belgium - train goes thru lots of tunnels etc - and the cillages are along little ravines next to the mountains - very pretty.
but holland - was brilliant tolday - got to Kinderdijk- or something spelled like that -- a UNESCO WH site with 19 windmills - was brilliant - I wanna live in a windmill!!! - went round the village with an italian guy i met at the bus stop - we were pretty much the only people there due to the rain! - cleared up while we were there tho...
anyway had to log on to let the backpackers in Paris know i still wanted a room or something...
so later!
