So 2 nights have passed and I’m currently at Nick’s friends place in Sint Niklaas. Lovely place – apparently the biggest square in Belgium. When we arrived, it was the first day in the whole of summer where it was sunny and nice enough weather to have dinner outside and breakfast outside. Today and yesterday have been the same. We headed to Gent the first night to have a few drinks and check out the area – beautiful area around the canals and quite a few churches. Yesterday we walked around Brugge which was smaller and quite cosy, but kind of similar to Gent. Antwerp was considerably bigger and close to the river that flows into belgium. Massive shopping street there as well. Had many beers, most have been very nice, one was horribly sweet. It doesn’t help if there are just a list of beers and I’m supposed to try them all. Chocolates – only had a handful, but we still have Brussels tomorrow – so there should be a lot more of them there. Waffles is on the list for tomorrow.
It’s been really good staying in a house – a proper bed and a proper shower. Also there is no worrying about taking all my precious belongings and can leave them in the room and know they will be safe. This last leg of the trip I havn’t taken too many photos – but I hope London will be amazing. Definately Cambridge will be awesome with all the parkour pics. Not long now till I have to go home. Not wanting to go home so soon, but I’m sure that’d always happen. So tomorrow is in Brussels, then the 3rd I’ll head into London, 4th will be for the attractions – I hope one day is enough, 5th in Cambridge, 6th I head home!
