Not to complain but it was supposed to be cold in Brussels.  So I packed long sleeve shirts.  But noooo, it's warm.  In fact, it's hot.  Upper 70's, into the 80's. Definitely not long-sleeve shirt weather. I arrived Saturday very early in the morning and was immediately met by Mariano at the airport.  Jetlag has been minimal because of the first...

Dagstur med venner til mini-Europa. Veldig kjekt, men skjonner ikke hvorfor det heter mini-europa - de hadde bare EU statene der.. Men men.. En kjekk dag. Avslappende og flott vær!

Rising early the Taxi came and brought us to Brussels airport, a reasonable and secure entry and we were soon on the Iberia flight to Madrid for our connection to Bogota. Iberia has certainly improved its Business Class seats and the food is really good. I have always noticed that their aircrews are older and I often seen the same faces, I wonde...

Hey everyone! Well, yesterday while sitting at a pub in Killarney, Ireland, we decided to figure our where to head next. Before we knew it we were booked on a flight the next day (Sunday) to Belgium! While it was not on our original list of places to visit, I can already tell it's going to be a nice place. We arrived last night after a LONG day ...

Very quick stop, mainly because we couldn't get a direct train from Paris to Amsterdam. But since I had time to take a photo, it's going on the list!

In Brussels we found a hostel late that night and hit the hostel bar... our first bar in a hostel experience! Stella tastes pretty good in Belgium. The next day we woke up early... because we were locked out of the hostel until 2pm... and checked out some of the amazing sites Brussels has to offer. The first one we stumbled upon was the famous f...

Despite some last minute hiccups, mainly caused by Jim "accidentally" breaking his arm on a lads' weekend - we're on our way at last! We eased into this travelling malarkey by taking the Eurostar to Brussels - fantastic idea it turns out. Got the year off off to a fab start by downing a bottle of very nice pink champagne before we arrived - do y...

I don't remember when it was exactly, but we visited my aunt who was working in Brussels at that time. She'd been living and traveling in many different places and she'd always been kind of an idol for me. So actually this trip should have been quite exciting, but I don't remember much of it. We went there by train and apparently the railroad tr...
