HI HI Hi!
On Tuesday, we awoke in London but fell asleep in BRUSSELS!! Yes we had a relaxing day that involved me sleeping till 2pm (because I didnt feel well) while Rachel went back to the Tate Modern and met up with one of her school friends who was also in London. Then at 6 we took an exciting train ride from London to Brussels, which was only 2 hours on the Eurostar train which is CRAZY FAST!!! We got our first passport stamp of the trip (awwww yeahhh) right before we left London. When we got to Brussels its was late when we got to the Hostel, so once we checked in and dropped off our stuff we went on the hunt for some Belgian fries and a Belgian waffle...but somehow we walked in the opposite direction that the person at the Hostel told us to go and we ended up in this really sketchy middle-eastern ghetto that was full of sketchy guys saying stuff to us in weird languages (it was VERY fun)...but we did manage to pick up some fries and a waffle from some rando carnival that was going on, which we later found out wasnt even the real deal, just some tourist junk. We ran back to the hostel scared shitless and wanting to leave Brussels because we were nervous that the whole city was gonna be a sketchy dreary place, but when we spoke to some other people in the hostel when we got back, they laughed at us and told us that we just went in the WRONG direction.
Our hostel was really cute and reminded us a lot of Yedid. There was a bar in the basement that was really cool looking but also really empty, but we decided to try some Belgian beer anyway. Rachel got a Stella, which is like an average popular Belgian beer, and I got something called Kriek, which is a very popular cherry beer that was supposed to be sweet but I thought was very tart.
More about days 6, 7, and today soon but I gotta run. We havent gotten to explore the area where our hotel is yet!
