BRUSSELS - BELGIUM

Dissapointed to some extent by my visit to Paris, I eventually made it to Brussles after a lengthy 3 hour wait on the motorway due to mechanical problems with the bus. This delay, whilst quite frustrating, also proved to be a blessing in disguise as our late arrival into Brussels meant that all available hostel accommodation had long since been snapped up. Thankfully, I was able to stay with a friend of a German guy (Alex) whom I had met on the bus and after a good fill of Turkish style beef and french fries (which are, believe it or not actually from Brussels !!!) I hit the sack, pretty exhausted from a rather long day.
