Road trip to Belgium

The first week of the Easter holidays, a colleague and I drove to Belgium. We stayed in Brussels, but took day trips to Liege, Leuven and Bruges. And all of this with real proper maps - no GPS! And very little getting lost :) Bruges was by far my favourite of all the places we went.

Liege - we stopped here on our way to Brussels, just for a little bit. Not the nicest looking place, but was good to look around for about an hour.

Katja and I on the Grand Place in Brussels. This I took after Katja tried (and failed) about 100 times on her camera.

Leuven, a nice little university town. It has some spectacular buildings in the centre, including their town hall

And I even found a Guide Museum in an old church! Sadly not open until May 15 ...

Bruges! So beautiful!

See! Almost looks like Amsterdam with the canals.

Touring Brussels on the trams

On our last full day in Brussels I took myself off on a tram tour of the city. It was my favourite part of Brussels - I took about 5 or 6 different trams around for a few hours and completed a full circle of the centre of Brussels.
