It was actually 2 weekends before Christmas when I took the Eurostar with some friends, headed straight for Brussels. We were being looked after for the weekend by our friend Fiona and her boyfriend Ben. Brussels lived up to our expectations, there were chocolate shops everywhere, thousands of types of beers and a lady selling waffles at 2am. We even managed to get all of our Christmas shopping done while having a tour of the city and the Christmas markets.
Many thanks to Fiona and Ben for looking after us. Happy Christmas and have a Happy New year everyone!
