Travelling to Belgium was quite the experience. To start off the morning Brittany and I took a bus to meet Jeri. From here we walked 10 minutes to the tube stop (the purpose of this is because our normal tube route was closed). Upon arrival, we see that there are severe delays and at this point it is already 7:45 and our train is departing at 8:25. We start running looking for a cab, which of course there is not one in sight. A
s we run probably a mile, we spot one pulling out of the gas station. We all sprinted to the waiting cab. We made it to the train station at 8:25 on the dot. Of course the train had already departed so we were left with useless tickets. Thank god we were able to find information and exchange them for a later departure.

All in all the remainder of our journey went by smoothly and we caught a cab to Hotel La Madeleine. It was a fabulous little hotel located in the heart of Brussels just steps from all of the 
sights and shopping. We were starving and ended up eating at Pizza Hut, so anti Belgium. But we ventured to the Grand Place after, which you'll be able to see in photos. We embarked on a minor shopping excursion in search of trends and souveniers, which was mainly successful (I got a cheap Manchester United Ronaldo jersey!).Also, i purchased as stein and mock wooden shoes, which are really porcelian, I thought they were very Belgian. The next day we had the famous Belgian waffles and frites (french fries). AMAZING! Possibly the greatest creations! I ordered my waffle with vanilla icecream and hot chocolate sauce, I could so go for one of those right now! Those are basically the main highlights of the trip, and we also went to the Museum of musical instruments.
