    I cannot believe the inconsiderate dickheads in my room.
    There is a group of 6 or so German douchebags who literally kept the entire dorm up all night. They pretty much had a damn party in the room. They were yelling at each other at 4:30 when someone finally asked them to keep it down.
    If they do it again tonight I might snap.
    I death stared them as we left this morning.
    We decided to try find a frog statue you are suppose to kiss and while doing that find somewhere for breakfast.
    We found a burger shop and my original excitement to try everything on the menu was halted when the burgers we did end up choosing where revolting. Expensive too. It was some "healthy bun" , ew.
    We had a look at some paintings in a market before heading back home because Will needed to poop.
    Why he can't tell that he needs to desperately go before we leave the house is beyond me.
    We hung around a bit trying to figure out a map before heading towards a comic bookstore - Belgium is obsessed.
    It was a decent walk but we found it - we had to dodge so many horse carriages on the way! I loved the whole store! I ended up buying a TinTin comic because the character was created in Belgium so I think it's a great souvenir. I can read it myself, to Jaxon and kids at work. 👍🏼
    Will originally gave me a 4€ budget and would not even consider raising it to 5€ but after seeing how cool they looked he allowed me to spend the 9.50€ - it's good quality paper too so it should survive. 😃😃😃😎
    We then walked to the blood basilica church*?
    The upstairs section has a famous vile of very very old blood that some claim to be from Jesus Christ.
    We had to walk up one by one to an alter that had a Priest who presented us with a small prayer pamphlet thing.
    The blood looked super sick 😷 . It had like white bubbles kind of like and ice block?
    It was cool though. I know it's not authentic - if they had any proof at all it would be a far bigger deal and people would be lining up the door - as it is, it was a cool novelty to see.
    We ran into the English people from the train and had a quick chat. The lady is having the same problem as I am - I want to do a canal ride and a carriage ride but Will has no interest.
    You win some you lose some. I got a comic today so I'm stoked :)
    We found the frog and I kissed it. The people around must have thought I was a loony. The theory is on the 100,000 kiss the frog will turn into a prince. Alas, It did not. Lol.
    We walked back and found this sort of beer festival thing. Well, it had big blown up beers and a beer stand? It also had a random jumping castle and a live band thing but it was first a marching band and then a Scottish band. Will loved it so we actually stayed for a fair few songs. They were very good.
    Love a man in a quilt hahaha.
    We're back at the apartment and I feel sick.
    The lack of good food is taking its toll I'm sure. Unfortunately it's just simply impossible to eat properly and not spend an entire days budget in one meal.
    I had an hours snooze while Will went to see some windmills - the beautiful boy brought me back a salad and Oreos :)
    I ate it, we talked to a few people in our dorm and now im back in bed planning to read while Will might go to a pub crawl/ figure out how we are going to get to Flanders field tomorrow - so unimpressed by the tour options - you can't reserve a spot only make a request. So we have no idea if we are going or not and they are so hard to contact so we thought fuck em, we will do it ourselves.🖕🏼👍🏼
    One company emailed me back - I think we will try to it ourselves tomorrow but if we fail miserably we will do the tour on Tuesday. I wish we could go Monday but all museums close on Monday -.- we leave on Tuesday so it could be a small issue but we will see.

    I popped my head out the window before. Will is standing outside with a few people drinking. At least I can see him and know he is safe :)
    I finished my book. Yipyip.
