Whilst Brussels doesn't feature at the top of 'Things to see in Europe', it was really time to join him. I stopped to think what I know about Belgium.
They have chips
They have waffles
They have beer
They have chocolate
(Oh dear, I appear to have eaten it all!)
Well that was an easy decision and off I went.
Friday night is a big beer event. I arrived late and headed straight for the party.
Not the greatest pictures, but great venue and great beer.
Saturday the men headed for their IT talks, I went about town to shop and eat large quantities of the articles stated above.
A few shots of La Grand Place.
That afternoon I went on the walking tour provided by the conference.

| A nice park |

| Past the Antique quarter |

| Old buildings |
All very interesting for an afternoon, but let's face it, not up there with Paris, London or Rome. Still, time well spent.
That evening I was adventurous and tried some rabbit for the first time. It was tasty.

Sunday
In need of some culture I headed to the music museum. What a great place. You get a headset and as you look at the instruments it plays the music they make! Nice idea.
Great way to spend a Sunday morning.
That evening we finished the weekend off away from tourist hot spots, to a local favourite.
Rib joint!!

Even better, the waitresses wandered past the tables, topping people up. Unfortunately for my earlier greed I could only manage the one plate. Seriously good though!
And just to be clear.........
