Beer in Belgium

After London and Paris we needed a change of pace, so we headed to Brussels. Our tour guide Jackson had the next two days off and was also planning on traveling so he decided to tag along with us.

One of the things Belgium is known for is it’s wonderful waffles. These waffle stands are all over the city and are a tasty treat for under 2 euro. 

The architecture in Brussels was a mixture of the old and new. Often times there was a new modern building right next to a building dating back to the 15^th century. The Grand Place is a perfect example of the 15^th century architecture. It is a square with gothic style buildings all around it.

 

The St. Goedele- St. Michiels Cathedral was a favorite while we were visiting. In the basement of the church you could see the remains of the old church that was built in the early 13^th century.

After a quick nap we all decided to head out to a local bar to check out another Belgium classic- Beer. We went to Delirium, a local bar that broke the Guinness book of world records for having the most beer on tap! They have over 2000 different flavors, we found a great cherry beer.

The next day when we were leaving we made a split second decision to go to Bruges, Belgium for a day trip instead of straight to Amsterdam. We ate lunch at a local pub and walked around the city to experience the culture.
