We had to when in Brussels

Sarah said when in Belgium we have to have a waffle. This one had every extra topping they had in the shop. €5.50. Not bad, but boy was it messy to eat, we enjoyed it though!

Number 25 Please! 

The chocolate looked good but this was even better.............

This shop was right next door to the 'Manakin Pis' the exact translation is man urinating. It's a fountain,  we were expecting a large fountain in a square but no it was a piddle little thing in a corner by two houses. 

However, just along the road was Brussels 'Grand Place' which is a magnificent town square with decorative stone buildings, gold leaf, flags and oodles of stately grandeur. 


This was a view from one of the alleys leading to the square. You can see the Town Hall tower in the background

A couple of days earlier in the Netherlands we peddled our bicycles along the coast and saw our first windmill. We were both surprised latter to find our faces sunburnt, Sarah's now pealing. 


The same night had a warm hue in the sky even at 10:40pm. This is a little seaside village near where we camped.
