Belgian Battlefields

Belgian waffles and Australians
... tour guide showed, but the service was terrible and they wouldn’t even sit us. We then went to another place with decent prices and we all got pasta. I also got a Belgian waffle down the street from a place with a great reputation, and it was amazing. They put white chocolate over the top and every bite was just as good as the last. Rick and I went back to the hostel and took a nap, because ...
