Brussels according to Trevor

We decided to head to Brussels after Brugge, actually we tried to find a route to see the national Canadian war museum (in a small town) but could not figure out the transportation even with the help of our hotel manager. So we came to Brussels. Upon arrivng a nice old couple from Canada actually, told us that our hotel was within walking distance of the train station, and it was. I was kinda disappointed though, the neighborhood looked very skechy ( so we did not go out after dark ). The room was small and the shower leaked all over the floor so that sucked, but the staff were rally nice, but that is what you get for booking online. I think next time we might wing it.

Brussels had some really cool old squares with giant old buildings and a really nice old church, but honestly that was about it. I honestly would not recommend it, not a lot to see and the lack of hostels made it expensive.

Manican Pis

Today we got up early to check out of he hotel and tour around a bit more. Then we headed to the train station to get to Charleroi (small town with an airport so we can fly to Barcelona in the morning). We probably circuledthe giant train station 3 times. First we were trying to find a bus to take us because we thought it would be cheaper (twice because we didn't understand people's directions). We found the bus and the driver basically made a fart noice to my face, to say piss off) when I asked him if he went to the airport. I was so confused on how to respond, it was actually quite funny, he even told another froup of people "5 euro to answer your question". Needless to say we all walked away. The train we cheaper anyway.

We are now in Charleroi where will spend the night and fly out to Barcelona in the morning. We also bought our novelty Belgium chocolate and it was delicious.
