Been gone for less than 48 hours but been busy. Left London on the Eurostar at 7:30am, arrived in Brussels 2 hours later. Spent the day sightseeing in Brussels, ate waffles and fries and saw lots of TinTin stuff. Only negative side was a (very talented) pickpocket lifted Mels cellphone, which resulted in a brief visit to the local police station ('police' in Dutch is 'politie').
BrusselsAfter Brussels adventures, we hopped onto a train to Leuven. Met James and Esther for a few(ish) of the local beers and had the largest meal known to mankind at a student local.
Next day we powerwalked through Leuvens sights before catching a train to Ghent, where we had ourselves a whirlwind walking tour of the churches, canals and awesome old buildings. Then back on the train to Bruges, so far enjoying Christmas markets and general Bruges prettyness before packing it in early for a day of sightseeing tomorrow.
Gent
Gent Castle
Budget tip of the day: if ever traveling in Belgium by train. Enquire about a 'go pass'. €50 for 10 trips anywhere in the country = awesomeness!!
