In the EU capital!!
Brussels
,
Belgium
We headed to
Brussels
with the idea that we would encounter a multicultural city, and yes, it was pretty much like that! They advertise well being the capital of the EU.
We went straight for the central square, which is a very large relaxing square overlooking the prestigious city hall. Walking through the narrow steets, suddently we found ourselves among PACKED restaurants with outdoor tables. Well.... WE HADN'T SEEN SO MANY LOBSTERS GATHERED IN A SINGLE STREET!!! It seems EVERYONE was ordering (nicely looking!) LOBSTERS for dinner...
Oh yes, we continued tasting the Belgian beers... next to an open air music festival. We sat outside for free, but the music was loud and we enjoyed it (until the rain started!). Plus we enjoyed a splendid fireworks display! On another occasion, we found ourselves eating and drinking beer (belgian, of course) for free!!! I guess it was part of the festival.
Not to forget, that we started FEELING THE SUMMER, with temperatures of up to 28 or 29 degrees!!!!!
Of course we walked around the EU commission and parliament buildings.
We also visited the Atomium. Well, this is an.... atom. But 260 billion (!!!!!!!!) times magnified! Impressive?
Last (but not least) we visited the museum and the (undeveloped until today) fields of the
Waterloo

Really nice to read you are having fun :)
I will not tell you about the weather here it is too depressive :(
Other than that connectivity is going on, Hilton is pretty much ready ;)
Next week we (me and Magda) will have one week holiday. We hope at least then we will have nice weather - we chose
Ibiza

All the best,
Marek & Magda
