Belgium Day 1

Belgium has been....awkward. I've had the hardest time orienting myself in Brussels. Maybe that was because I took a taxi from the train station (by the way, I got completely ripped off with the fare). I accidently ordered two waffles this morning (by the way, I finally found the waffles). And I think I might have been reprimanded for throwing my trash in the wrong container. I'm assuming it was a reprimand, but I could be wrong because he just walked away when I said I didn't speak French.

I meant to get up early and go to Bruges (the city that retarded farmers love) but I slept in instead. The thought of having to walk around all day was just to much for my feet. Instead I went looking for the city tour bus - I found the waffles along the way. I ate all of the first waffle and some of the second at the Grand Palace. I hung out for awhile admiring the architecture with a one footed pigeon (by the way, he sure could move for only having one foot).

Not to long after that I found the bus and rode around for most of the afternoon. Got to see some sites I would never have seen otherwise. After a little chocolate shopping on the way back to the hotel I took a break. I booked my room for Amsterdam and Paris (by the way, I'm returning to Paris this weekend).

I headed back out this evening to find the Mannekin Pis (by the way, he is really, really tiny). It wasn't too far from the hotel and I munched on some frites with ketchup along the way. After that it was off to a cafe for a Belgian beer. I'm skipping dinner tonight. I'm not really hungry after the frites and beer. I'm trying to decide if I should try again for Bruges in the morning before I leave for Amsterdam. Stay tuned.
