At first we thought the train station was quite small and we could just go out the 'main' door and find our hostel. That didn't happen at all. It turns out the station is huge and we weren't going out the door we thought.
After a long search for the information desk we got sorted out and made the trek to the hostel. This particular hostel has a daily lock out so we were only able to reserve a room and lock up our bags, but we couldn't go to our room.
Once away from the hostel we did as we always do and picked a direction and walked. we saw palaces, parks, cathedrals and museums. We came across a park full of giant brussels sprouts painted in various colours and made to look like different things. A hot air balloon, a tree, a town...
By 2 o'clock we were allowed to check into our rooms so we went to do that and take a nap. Chad is a winter bear and all he wants to do is sleep.
After our nap we went out again and found, The Peeing boy!!!!!! Manneken Pis is a statue of a naked little boy peeing into a fountain, and I love it! Later on we also found his lesser know sister who is squatting and peeing in her own fountain. Along the way we also found a CHRISTMAS MARKET, and we know how I love those! Naturally we also needed to eat, I am a hungry hungry hippo most of the time. We found a delicious place for fries, burgers and 'chixfingers' and then went for waffles after. It is belgium after all!
Now back at the hostel we can get ready for bed. We will have all day here tomorrow before going to Paris in the evening!
C'est fini
