First Day in Brussels

This is supposed to be a Brewery trip but the streets smell like chocolate, there’s chocolate stores on every street, it is amazing.

And then there are the mussels. So large a portion of mussels cooked in white wine that I almost couldn’t eat them all. Belgium is famous for beer, chocolate and mussels, so far have tried them all and the reputation is well earned.

And then there is the Marriott Hotel with a McDonalds in it’s first floor. At least the hotel ExperiencePlus recommended has a Chocoholic Store. Much better.

Maneken-pis is probably the most famous thing in Belgium, lots of beautiful old buildings all over but on a back street, hard to find is this statue. I know it because my ex-husband must have been here and bought a souvenir bottle stop of him. Fitting since he liked to drink a lot. Don’t know what happened to it.
