Travel Diary- Brussels

Hey Dolls,

It has been awhile. As I mentioned in my last post I was going away for a couple of weeks travelling Europe. And I am back to the cruel reality that is normal life, Le Sigh! My initial plan was to keep you guys up to date while I was on my travels but I didn’t bring my laptop and the blogger app is really annoying to use so I left it until I came back. I did keep a travel diary while away so I have everything written down so I would not forget it.

So as you probably have already guessed by the title this post is going to be on the first place we visited, which was Brussels. I do not think any of us had high expectations for Brussels as we didn’t really know that much about it. However, we were pleasantly surprised as it turned out to be one of the best spots of the trip. Brussels as a city in general is so pretty the architecture is just amazing. They have the most beautiful square 'Le Grand-Place', it is actually spectacular at night which I defiantly recommend checking out.

If you go there I would defiantly recommend trying a Keirk. It was recommended to me by a college friend (Best recommendation I ever got). It is a type of cherry beer, very sweet but Oh my god it tastes amazing. We went out to a bar Delirium, which is such a cool bar it’s got over 2500 different types of beer, you literally could get any type of beer there it was ridiculous. I think we got the delirium pink beer (which isn’t pink unfortunately) nevertheless tastes amazing, easiest beer to drink even my friends who wouldn’t be too fond of drinking beer loved it. Also Delirium is right down the street from the square so you could definitely go there after to check it out all lit up.

The areas around Waterloo avenue is really good for shopping, they’ve got a really good Zara and like 3 H&M's within like 5 minute walking distance from each other, I swear they love H&M over in Europe there's so many of them.

The palace is also another area we walked over to see, it’s nothing really special just looks like a smaller version of Buckingham palace, the park in front of it though is really nice to stroll through. That’s about all we got up to in Brussels, we were only there for two days there before we had to head off to Amsterdam.

Oh and the hostel we stayed in in case anyone is wondering was H2Go and it was really nice, very good location and clean which is all you really want from a hostel. It also had a really cool lounge area where we all watched the opening ceremony of the world cup so the atmosphere was pretty good at night.
