Review of the 2013 Europe Trip/Brussels

I took the fast train from Amsterdam to Brussels.


My first great meal was at Rugbyman II [Quai aux Briques 12].  I sat in front of the kitchen, watched the chef, the owner/waiter only spoke French and his wife came to translate.  Wonderful bottle of wine but forgot to take a picture of it.





I met up with a school friend that lived in Brussels.  He took me to the Butte of Lion; site of the Battle of Waterloo.  I made it halfway up the 225 steps but the rain stopped me [the slate stairs became very slippery].  I will make it next time.  The other site was the headquarters of the Duke of Wellington.







Grand Place Square - a festival and parade.











A chocolate tour:














A Sunday afternoon in historic Bruges, visit to medieval hospital museum and hanging out in the square in a pub.
