Belgium

Well a couple of days ago we were in Belgium. We only go here on the repositioning cruise, so we were all eager to get to see what it was like. Once the ship was cleared for crew to get off, we all headed toward the crew shuttles, not knowing what to expect. The shuttle took us to the next town, and we were told that the train would be leaving in a couple of minutes if we wanted to go to the next town over, Brugge. Well we missed the train by minutes, but the next one was only an hour wait, so we got our tickets, only 5 euro.

Since we had an hour to kill, and it was lunch time, we walked around and found some nice food stands. We had some great Belgium Fries, the invented them you know, and then found some waffle stands. They were great. The waffles were the opposite of the states, at home the waffle is pain, and the whipped cream is sweet, here they were the opposite.

Well after a few pictures it was time to get on the train. A short train ride later, eleven minutes, we were in Brugge. We weren't able to get to Brussels, as it was too far away, but this city was great. We all found some more waffles, took lots of pictures, and found some chocolate shops. All in all it was a good day.
