My shoes are water resistant not water proof as I found out when I hiked a mile in a torrential downpour. I knew when the heat broke that there would be showers as there always are but I didn’t expect the amount, not that I wasn’t grateful to have the break from the incredible heat!
It has been easy to reach all the landmarks here in Brussels, I mostly did them on the first day. On this day I wanted to visit the Brussels Museum inside the incredible Grand-Place. It was an informative museum about this old land but new country, particularly the burning of Brussels in the 1600’s.
After the museum I ate at a local restaurant and had some sort of chicken in a cherry creme sauce, it was a bit odd.
From lunch I began my soaking journey to the Cinquantenaire Park. A massive park with an arch and two curved wings jutting out from it, similar to Palais de Chaillot I saw in Paris but on a smaller scale.
That sort of took the day, the park is on the other side of town. I ate dinner in a local trendy burger place and had some beer. The beer here is really the best I’ve ever had.
So far Brussels has been my favorite city. Either I’m getting more comfortable being on the road and dealing with the customs of people or I just enjoy the smaller local, probably both.
