DAY EIGHT!

Did some final walking around Brussels. I say final. I mean crazy ass amount of a-walking around various important parts of Brussels that we'd missed before.
Like the EU Parliment and Commision.

We also spent a good amount of the day wandering through some of the biggest parks and squares in Brussels, as well as checking out some of the museums. Something of note was the Belgian Museum of Art and History. Which was crazy interesting. The coolest thing?
The views are:
Myself: Musuems are boring...
Dan: MUMMIES! There were preservevd people! Which was quite terrifying, it was interesting seeing the way people treated thier dead. But actually seeing a mummy close up.. it unnerved me slightly... Which was fun!
Joe: ZWIEHANDER!!!

For those of you that need a translation of Joes view.. a Zwiehander is a MASSIVE two handed sword used by holy roman empire peeps in the 16C Which could cleave a man (in platemail) in two. NICE.

The tank museum was closed however, so that made for a Sad Joe.

After museums we found the ULTIMATE FRITERY, which sold the cheapest, but single largest nicest nommest amount of chips EVER. Win. Joe also had snails... Dan and I turned them down.

After this we found ourselves at a free street party in a skate park, with live music, which was very amazing. We saw a fantasitc live band but unfortunatly we have NO IDEA who they are. They were however one of the best bands we'd ever seen. The atmosphere at the street party was great and it was a lot of fun being there.

After crazy street party we found outrselves at the Hostel bar once more, which was this time frequented by some Dutch cyclists and an American barman. We all chatted and shared a laugh, we also (strrangly) saw Cloverfield on the bars TV start to finish... without sound.. Intersting.

Tomorrow, however much we love Brussels we have resolved ourselves to leave.
Next stop.
AACHEN!

Wish us luck and we'll talk to you soon!

Singing away
D'Arti!
