In Brussels

Arrived at Brussels Zuid/Midi station and we met up with Cam. Cam took us to the square in Marollen, we stopped at a no frills cafe to have a light munch and some hot drink. I had a coffee and several cigarettes. I had a try of Jess’ onion soup and that was lush.

The flea market was in front of the cafe so Jess, Laura and i had a good wander around. It looked like heaven to me, a lot of random epic crap. It was nice to look at all the stuff - i think the odd few paintings and little tables were the nicest things about, but i can’t really bring those back. I got to speak some French to converse and barter with the vendors, was nice to speak some French! I bought a cool skirt and funky green trousers (pics coming soon).

After some snack shopping, we took the tram back to Cam’s flat for a little breather as we were all on 2-3 hours’ sleep. Around 18:00 ish we went to a big supermarket to buy ingredients for dinner at the beach town. At this point I was starting to flag because I hadn’t had a hot meal since yesterday lol

We took the 19:38 train to Heist (beach town) from Brussels Nord, when we sat on one of the platform benches, a big juicy rat came out of nowhere and ran across <3
The train was a double decker and I have never been on the upper deck of a train, very cool.Read more
