Mini-Europe

For our last day in Belgium, we jumped on a tram, and headed out through the northern suburbs to Heysel, where the Expo centre, Atomium, The Waterpark, and MiniEurope is located. MiniEurope is kind of like Cockington Green in Canberra – everything is 1:25 scale, so it’s still kinda big in some situations.

Brussels Light and Sound !

After our fulfilling day at Gent, we had a rest till about 10pm, wanting to wander round, see the city at night, and take some photos. We mumbled our way up to Grand Place, where it was about 10:55, and hundreds of people sitting and standing everywhere. We figured we’d just take some photos and then keep going.

Day 1 in Brussels

After a smooth, quick ride on the Eurostar, through relatively flat, green farm lands of france and Belgium, we got to Brussels Midi, and jumped on a local train to De Brouckere. The local train was kind of like a tram, more than a train, but ran underground. Very clean.
