Brussels

Got to sleep in a little today. Still a rushed breakfast before walking to the Natural Science Museum. Popular for its dinosaur fossil exhibits, it was a very beautiful and huge museum. We made it through the dinosaurs and natural history and evolution before breaking for lunch. Took an Uber to Grand Place - the central market in Brussels and home to the Kings House and town hall, it was surrounded by Christmas markets. After a sandwich lunch we decided to go to the Brussels Beer Experience at Bourse (the old stock change building) with the kids. A very interactive exhibit it was entertaining and pretty. We ended the tour at the rooftop with Elliot getting to try raspberry beer while we had our own. A beautiful view over the city as the sun set before we made our way to the famous nearby Manneken Pis (Little Peeing Man). Souvenirs can be found all over the country and we finally got to see the tiny little statue ourselves. We then walked back toward home with a few groceries before our Mexican dinner. We miss good Mexican. It was a tasty meal before heading home for our new favourite British show - travelling with James May as the Japan episodes caught our attention.Read more
