That's right folks, I'm back to write about Wednesday! We woke up well rested and ready for a longggg day in bussels. We started off by walking to a local flea market that supposedly had a lot of good intage clothes. Once we got there, we realized that it was not so good for vintage clothes, but AMAZING for vintage bags. There were so man good vintage bags eveywhere and it was easy to haggle down prices to only 5 euros. Rachel also got a really cute pair of shoes for 5 euro. There was a lot of junk there, but a few treasures. Rachel got a cute teacup and saucer for 3 euros. After the flea market, we stopped for breakfast at a really cute cafe and I got a croque Monsieur which is the French way to say grilled cheese sandwich with ham in it. It was delish!
Then we went to the Grand Place Markt, which is a beautiful main square with a bunch of amazing ancient buildings and LOTS of tourists and souvenir shops.... And CHOCOLATE of course. We went crazy and bought a ton of Belgian chocolate to eat on our trip and to bring home. Then we wen to see the Mannequin Pis, the famous fountain of the peeing baby, which was a lot smaller than you would think. After that we enjoyed a delicious Belgian waffle and some gelato. Then we went to this really cool museum that was all about comic books and comic strips. Then We stopped at our hostel to drop off all of our purchases and rest for a little bit. We went out to dinner and then went out to this really cool place called Cinamatek, which is a film museum with the largest film archive in the world that also screens old movies. We were really lucky because they were screening Casino Royale directed by Orson Welles in English with French subtitles. We LOVED it and highly suggest it if yu need a movie to watch. When we got out of the movie it was pouring and we ran back to the hostel in the rain and went right to sleep. It was a really fun day!
