Bonjour!
We left Amsterdam and headed south to Brussels in Belguim! We did 100km in 6 hours, the roads were mayhem! There were people driving through the middle of the traffic just to get ahead. A very impatient driver cut straight in front of us and ripped the front quarter panel of our van!! It smashed up the plastic and put a big dint in the side, and then he just took off very quickly! Not the welcome from Belgium we were hoping for lol! We also witnessed a fist fight between two disgruntled drivers! We arrived in Brussels and rode into town on the push bikes. We went to the Grand Place, rode around to see the other cathedrals and monuments, then had a Belguim beer at an English pub where we watched the Aussie’s get beaten by New Zealand in the World Cup. It stopped by at Neuhaus chocolate shop and spent $$ on delicious belguim chocolate. This chocolatier opened in 1857 and they were actually the inventors of the praline. It is safe to say that 500g of chocolate/pralines/truffles and granaches are making their way closer to our hips haha! Brussels was a quirky city, the 15th century market centre was fantastic to look at and we had another day of beautiful clear skies!
Ciao!
