I had a full meltdown on this day. But, it had a beautiful ending. I was traveling from Brussels Central Station to Bremerhaven Central Station on this day. It is about an 8 hour trip, with 4 connection trains. I had anxiety over this trip for a day or two leading up to it, because Read more about Train Disaster[…]
I kept hearing Antwerp was a great place to visit, so I did. And, I was NOT disappointed. So far, I like every place i’ve been for different reasons. But, I thought Antwerp was breathtaking on so many levels. I mean……really?! p.s – I wish I had invested in a nice camera or an iPhone Read more about Antwerp[…]
This place was shit….and then all of a sudden it became good. Here’s what I mean. Right in the city center, you will find this two story AMAZING smelling place called Gaufres de Bruxelles. It will be packed to the fullest, so be pre-pared to wait. I first ventured in after dinner elsewhere one night, looking Read more about Gaufres de Bruxelles[…]
The Flanders were SAVAGES. But, if you take away all the gore, torture, and executions (and trust me, there was a lot of that happening here) – their castle was actually really beautiful. I highly recommend Ghent, and this tour. It is an audio tour, but not one of those boring ones. The person who Read more about Gravensteen Castle[…]
I originally planned my day trip to Ghent around the Gravensteen Castle. What I am learning more & more each time I venture out – aside from the fact that when I come home I need to get a grip on my anxiety – is that each town may have their few “known” things, but Read more about Ghent[…]
I thought my days of being kicked out of places were behind me, but I guess not. Here’s what happened: I was wondering the streets of Brussels when I came across a sight of the most gorgeous building I have ever seen. I noticed a steep uphill drive-way to get to it – and you Read more about “Authorized not, leave now” – said Dutch Man[…]
I woke up with a sore throat and no motivation today. I got lots of sleep (on and off) but my body hurt from the adventures of the day before. The weather outside was pouring rain, but I had planned to go to the Atomium and Mini-Europe today and I wasn’t going to let rain Read more about Atomium and Mini-Europe[…]
Finally, an authentic Brussels meal. So authentic, I didn’t know what I was getting until it hit the table. This place caught my eye because of it’s central location in the high fashion district of Brussels. It was a small cafe-looking bar on the corner. I was starving, and I noted the authenticity on the Read more about Tavern Greenwich[…]
So, I didn’t think my first “real meal” here in Brussels would be a Berlin burger joint…yet, here we are. When hunger strikes…it strikes…and Berlin Fabrik happened to be near. First, this place is pretty bad ass. It has a gastropub feel to it, but it’s cozy enough to feel safe and comfortable. When I Read more about Berlin Fabrik[…]
They say people travel far and wide to see this famous statue called “Manneken Pis”. Sometimes he’s in costume, sometimes he’s naked, 100% of the time you will be disappointed. I couldn’t believe the amount of people snapping pictures and videos of this. “..Many great legends bring this little statue to life in the hearts Read more about Manneken Pis[…]
