Curling, skating and NYE

We finally enjoyed no alarms this morning and all slept in after a lot of walking the last few days. After a brunch in, we bundled up for an Uber ride to the central squares and ice skating. It ended up being a warmer day and on the way to get skates, we noticed a curling area and so immediately signed up for that first. No brooms, unfortunately, but we all had fun trying our hand at ice bowling. Elliot was definitely the best, followed by Hudson. After our curling exploits were over, we checked in and got skated up. Gideon is a natural and Joce knows how to skate but E, H and I took our time. By the end, G and J fell the most while we puttered around the rink. From ice skating, we walked back to Grand Place and enjoyed the light show on the buildings. Our restaurant was very close by and we got there early. Unfortunately, things went downhill from there - the service was non-existent and the food was so bland after a very long wait. Trying not to let it ruin our night, we enjoyed a walk home before watching the final Japan episode of James May. Then it was time for bubbles and a countdown dance before heading to bed. Happy new year!Read more
