Beer and Pis..

Spent a great weekend in Belgium. It wasn't what i expected at all. I didn't know that Brussels was so beautiful or that many chocolate shops!

But before, i had to visit Hoegaarden, the town.. for the beer!

Did you know that the old spelling of Hoegaarden was...

Hougaerde



Here's a statue that tell you how to pour beer properly!

And there in the courtyard was a lovely little restaurant and they serve food cooked with Hoegaarden. We got this lovely dish..

It was heavenly! By the way, the dutch have a very funny saying when they taste great food.

ALSOF ER ENGELTJES OVER JE TONG PLASSEN

Meaning.. as if an angel pissed on your tongue! :P

Then we went to a 13th century castle

Kasteel Beersel

And then we went to Brussel.. Mannken Pis

Chocolates .. and

Tintin!

Also took the opportunity to visit the Margitte Museum.. one of my favorite painters! I also loved his skies! And Brussels really have beautiful skies!

I never knew that the landmark for Brussels was the Atomium.. shows how much i knew..

Next stop... Germany, Switzerland, ITALY and France.. it's going to be a very interesting trip!

And i just bought this book! Can't wait for it!
