Picture Time 3
DAY 6 - BRUSSELS
CLICK HERE TO SEE ALL MY PICTURES.
The Belgian version of Sacre Coeur...let's just say, for the 5th largest church in the world, not too many people are breaking their necks to get to it[i.e. it's not very impressive...dirty green domes don't do it for me].
Stained glass window inside Sacre Coeur.
Chocolates at Leonidas, one of the more famous Belgian chocolatiers. It's basically the cheaper version of Neuhaus or Godiva, but still very good.
Perching myself on a 'seat' in the Comic Strip Museum. Yes, there is such a thing as a comic strip museum. Apparently, Belgium is in love with comic strips.
DAY 5 - BRUSSELS
Manneken-Pis. Basically, picture a one-and-a-half year old baby pissing from 10 feet away and you get this statue! I thought it would've been much bigger, but it wasn't.
Jeanneke-Pis. The female counterpart of Manneken-Pis, but nobody acknowedges her. Equally small, but only two feet away and behind iron bars! Like anyone would steal it....
The Atomium. I think Europeans have a thing for building big ass structures and then originally planning to tear them down, but never do[ a la Eiffel Tower]. It was closed for renovation, which is evident by all the open spaces in the balls.
Cathedrale for the two patron saints on Belgium. This was the first cathedral I went into where you could actually take pictures, so of course, I took some.
The Grand Place. Literally that...a big square. This pictures the Museum of Brussels aka Musee de Bruxelles.
Royal Galeries de St. Hubert. A covered shopping passageway/street.
A Belgian metro station.
Parc de Bruxelles. If you've ever wanted to see a park with UNPAVED roads, this is for you.
At the Museum of Cocoa and Chocolate. These heads are made completely of chocolate!! What a waste...
