      Radfahren in Brüssel

      August 1, 2023 in Belgium ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

      Das Royale Belge liegt eher im Speckgürtel der belgischen Hauptstadt, umgeben von etlichen zum Verkauf stehenden ehemaligen zumindest diplomatischen Gebäuden/ wenn nicht Botschaften. Die CD Parkplätze sind erhalten 😁. Wie ich erlesen konnte, sind die sich deutlich in der Minderheit befindlichen deutschsprachigen Belgier, völlig beleidigt, dass sie nicht so richtig mitregieren dürfen. Geguckt hatte ich nach der Amtssprache und das ist augenscheinlich ein weites Feld und sicherheitshalber wurde Belgien in 3 eigenverantwortliche Territorien unterteilt, die nur durch Zitat: König, Kunst und Fußball zusammengehalten werden.
      Hm 🤔 jut… Gestern hat es nur seeehr wenig geregnet, deshalb sind wir mit dem Rad ins Zentrum gefahren und haben erst einmal zügig alle Outdoor Sehenswürdigkeiten abgeklappert und nur wenig Schoki gekauft. Die Innenstadt ist grandios, voll und eigentlich eine riesiges Fressmeile 🤩. Auf dem Rückweg sind wir noch ein paar Umwege gefahren und dann im Hotel ins Fitness/Wellness Studio gefallen. Aperol/Campari und 💤😁😁😁      Read more

      Brussels Day 2

      November 17, 2023 in Belgium ⋅ ☁️ 7 °C

      Minor drama this morning as boiler down so no hot water. Reached out to Jean so will see what happens.

      Busy day planned. Guided tour round the centre and then metro to the Atomium.

      The tour was very extensive so didn’t make the Atomium today. Not to worry found the Delirium Bar - enormous range of beers mostly quite strong.

      Good news boiler fixed, so shower, cassoulet and a quiet night in.      Read more

      Frida Kahlo en veel van Brussels

      June 12, 2022 in Belgium ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

      Ja, ek weet nie hoe om veel en heel te gebruik in Nederlands nie, dis moeilik. Maar dis baie snaaks, die Nederlands. Van hulle allerdaagse woorde is maar lelik in Afrikaans (en andersom - soos Hendrik gou agtergekom het).
      In elk geval, ek word lekker vroeg wakker, want ek wou nie my shutters toemaak vir die son nie - in België kan mens besluit wanneer dit nag is. Jy maak net jou shutters toe en dan is dit pikdonker.
      Ek en Liehet vat toe die trein na Antwerpen centraal statie, waar ek 'n sim card wou koop, maar baie plekke is toe op 'n sondag (bv elke liewe selfoon netwerk winkel), dit staan dus oor tot more en ons vat die volgende trein na Brussels.
      In Brussels loop ons en neem klomp foto's, onder andere van Grand Place, 'n katedraal wat in die jaar 1000 gebou is, en nog vele ander plekke. Ons gaan eet ontbyt by 'n koffiewinkeltjie/restaurantjie, waar ons croissant, 'n baguette (vars, warm en crispy), kaas, botter, konfyt, vars uitgedrukte lemoensap en 'n warm drankie (beste hot chocolate van my lewe) kry. Daarna gaan ons Neuhaus toe - want Tina se ma-hulle het in 2016 vir my Nauhaus sjokolade gegee en ek onthou tot vandag toe hoe lekker dit was. Ek gaan môreoggend bel en plek bespreek by een van hulle sjokolade werkswinkels.
      Daarna gaan ons na Grand Casino om na die Frida Kahlo uitstalling te gaan kyk met klomp van Liehet se vriendinne. Dit was nogal uitsonderlik, met 'n tydlyn van haar lewe vooraf en dan in 'n groot saal nog inligting en video's oor Frida en haar kuns.
      Ons gaan eet toe by Wagamama - 'n oosterse kos restaurant en daarna vat Lisinda ons Atomion toe, maar dit is reeds toe. Ons kry egter die lekkerste belgiese wafel by die trokkie wat dit daar verkoop.
      Ek en Liehet kry toe sulke elektriese scootertjies waarmee mens kan ry as jy dit scan op 'n app. Jy los dit net weer langs die pad as jy klaar is, dan kan 'n volgende mens dit gebruik. Ons ry so 5.6km om weer by die busstasie uit te kom. Jy ry in die fietsrybaan en als is baie mooi ingerig daarvoor. Op sekere plekke moet mens ongelukkig in die pad ry saam met die karre, asook telke male op 'cobblestone' strate wat jou brein weer in plek skud.
      Toe ons terug is in Centraal area gaan kyk ons na Manneken pis en kry vir ons belgiese frites met truffle mayonnaise (maar dis nie iets om oor huis toe te skryf nie). Ons vat die trein terug Noorderkempen toe en stap toe huis. En gaan slaap baie lekker!      Read more

      Pommes, Grand-Place & Manneken-Piss

      August 4, 2022 in Belgium ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

      Zuerst haben wir uns eine Belgische Pommes besorgt, die wirklich sehr lecker war! 🇧🇪

      Dann waren wir am Grand-Place (der Marktplatz umgeben von Gildenhallen). 😊

      Zum Schluss konnte Jan es sich nicht nehmen lassen, sich von dem „Manneken Piss“ anpinkeln zu lassen 🤔😂Read more

      Kunstwerk Brüssel 🖌🎨

      April 3, 2023 in Belgium ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C

      Schon mein erster Tag in Brüssel hat mich hellauf begeistert. Diese Stadt besteht aus wunderschönen Plätzen, Gärten, Cafés und Bauwerken. Hinter jeder Ecke wartet ein Ort der noch schöner ist, als der vorherige oder Essen, das noch leckerer ist, als das gerade gegessene. Diese Stadt ist ein Kunstwerk das nur darauf wartet bestaunt zu werden 🎨🖌 Ich hoffe, ich konnte etwas Ihrer Schönheit auf meinen Bildern einfangen🌷✨️Read more

      Farewells to yurt and friends

      July 31, 2023 in Belgium ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

      Today we woke up for the final time in the yurt. We packed everything up, grabbed one final bacon sandwich and headed to Brussels. The drive was fairly easy and it was time to say farewell to Holly and Kate. It was so nice spending time all together and the group really got along so well. We'll see Kate soonish but it'll be a while to we see Holly, the newest UK convert. Kate is off to Paris then home and Holly is off to Paris as well but then will continue her travels.
      We then navigated back through Brussels to the outskirts to our accommodation. It was confusing to find the accom but luckily a lady eventually came out with our key. We then turned the Matilda's game on and it was almost half time, so after a brief sit we headed into the main centre.
      We found an Irish pub and watched the end of the game which was very exciting. We then walked trying to find somewhere for lunch. After passing a few places, one place got us as the waiter put on an Aussie accent after asking where we are from. We then visited a bar named the Squire which had a horse shoe as its logo and horses on every table. The waiter was wild and when I went to pay, the waiter and I were dancing together. He literally grabbed my hands and we did a quick two step. Dance is the universal language. On our exit, some other guy was also having a boogie with us. The Squire really was my scene.
      Next we walked to what Liisa dubbed the 'oldest shopping street in the world' which was literally home to about 10 chocolate/macaron shops. Liisa tried 3 different macarons and had a good time. We then got a Belgium waffle, however we weren't allowed to sit in the shop unless we all bought a drink... So we struggled to eat them outside with what resembled a toothpick. Erin was the Waffle Wally and somehow managed to have cream on her nose. We had seen this souvenir of a small boy statue peeing literally EVERYWHERE so had to check it out. It was Pissing Boy, potentially the son of the original Pissing Men (see Prague day). It was also a tiny statue, which is allegedly a replica. We bought souvenirs anyway as it was hilarious.
      We then caught the train back and walked once again in the rain. Had a shower and watched some Vampire Diaries. It's been a big few days for us all.      Read more

      Brussels Day 1

      December 2, 2023 in Belgium ⋅ ☁️ 0 °C

      Our night was amazing - we are LOVING Brussels!!

      1.) Saw the famous Mannaken Pis statue (dressed up for Christmas which is so fun)

      2.) Had dinner at “NuetnigEnough” - i had the puff pasty pie and classic “Brussels Frites (fries).” Such a cute small restaurant, only ~8 tables, very friendly staff and delicious food :)

      3.) Then had Belgian beer at La Port Noir which used to be the kitchen for a monestary! Such a cool place and loved my cherry sour beer.

      4.) Ended the night with a (surprise) lightshow in Grand Place, followed by “Gluhwein” (mulled red wine) and the Christmas Market right by our cute AirBnb ✨      Read more

      A very special stumbling stone

      May 4 in Belgium ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

      Whom do the STOLPERSTEINE commemorate?
      This project commemorates anyone persecuted and/or murdered by the Nazi regime: Jews; Sinti and Roma; Jehovah’s Witnesses; homosexuals; mentally and/or physically disabled people; people persecuted for their political views, their religion, their sexual orientation or the colour of their skin; forced labourers; men considered deserters; people who were persecuted on grounds that they were “asocial” such as homeless people or prostitutes.
      NB: STOLPERSTEINE are not only placed for people who died, but also for “survivors”. For example, in front of a house in Amsterdam, a STOLPERSTEIN might be placed for a woman who survived Auschwitz alongside two STOLPERSTEINE for her parents who did not. This “reunites” families. STOLPERSTEINE can also be placed for people who were able to escape to Palestine or South America or survivors of concentration camps. The project also commemorates those forced by the circumstances to commit suicide.      Read more
