We left Amsterdam early in the morning and headed our way towards Brussels. On our way to Brussels we decided to stop off in another city in Belgium called Brugge. I really enjoyed the city and it had a huge ton of small shops and family run shops too. Once we got into the city we went on a walking tour of the city and had 2 hours to explore the city. The city was fairly small but it had a large squares and markets. After the 2 hour walking tour, Ashley and I and some friends decided that we needed to pick up some waffles. Huge Belgium waffles. It was amazing and I had one with powered sugar and Ashley had one with fresh strawberries. After our lunch we walked around in the market and then went into this square called the Burg. The funny thing about that is that I called Blacksburg the Burg so of course I took a picture there. We did not have much time left so Ashley and I decided that we should get some Belgium chocolates but it was definitely harder then you think. We were so overwhelmed with the selection that we just got chocolate covered raisins and some fudge to eat on the way back to the bus. We finished up in the shop and just walked back to the bus and then headed on to Brussels. Brussels the capital of the E.U. fyi. Once we got to Brussels we got to our hostel and it was quite an experience. It was our first hostel that we have stayed in and was very different from the hotels. The consisted one 2 bunks beds no sheets no towels and a bathroom. Luckily we had our own shower in our room. It was 6 Euros for a towel so shower was out of the question. So after we stayed for a little we went to go get sheets from downstairs because they forgot to put them in the room. Then all of us left for a walking tour of the city and then went to grab some city with the crew:Michael, Erica, Jenny, Joy, Alyx, Mandy, Golden. We ended up going to a nice restaurant where Ashley got the tortellini and I got chicken kabob. After that we went to the delirium cafe. The cafe is in the Guinness book of world record for the most beers sold. It had 27 on tap and sold beers from all over the world. At first we were just going to walk through the cafe but we saw some friends from the tour and decided to stay for one drink. Well Ashley went to go order us a couple of beers but the bartender misinterpreted Ashley and she ordered two 1 liters glass boots full of beers instead of just two glasses! She ended up putting down a 40 Euro deposit for both of the boots. I was dying laughing. After the fact we just sat down with everyone and Jenny grabbed a glass and split the beer with us since it was alot. Ashley got a mango beer and I got the house brew. We stayed played card games and just headed back to our hostel because we had Paris the next day.
