Kermit in Brussels

Markus and I took the train to Brussels, the capital of Belgium. Although it was a very short trip, we saw all the famous sights and treated ourselves with some fine food.

We arrived in Brussels very early and checked in at the hotel first.

I liked our spacious room.

I had to call Ms. Piggy to tell her that we arrived safely.

We started our sightseeing trip at the famous fountain sculpture “Manneken Pis”.

Then we saw the European Parliament.

Interesting to see how “European Parliament” is written in all European languages.

Nearby there is a small part of the original Berlin Wall. Looks quite big to me!

We continued our trip and went to the Grand Place.

Isn’t it nice? No wonder the place is among the most beautiful in Europe.

And here is the town hall. Quite nice too.

After a day full of walking, we were tired and decided to go back to the hotel to get some rest.

We started the next morning with some Belgian Waffles.

Very sweet and yummy.

Not as good as fried flies, but still delicious.

“Markus, try some.”

After a cup of coffee, we were ready to start exploring the rest of the city.

Our first stop was the Royal Palace of Brussels.

The city center is full of beautiful buildings, like this one here…

…and also a lot of churches.

At the end of our tour, we saw the two highlights: The Jubelpark with the triumphal arch…

…and the famous and very impressive Atomium.

Then it was already time to leave Brussels, but not without trying some original Belgian Fries.
(I still prefer flies though…)

It was a short trip, but Brussels is well worth a visit.

I hope the phone call to Mr Piggy does not make your hotel phone bill too large.

I never knew there was a bit of the Berlin wall in Brussels.

Hello, Kermit, my froggy friend,

so you have visited my beautiful hometown!

Makes me kind of homesick, although I have to admit that I have not many memories of Brussels, since I have lived most of my live somewhere else.

May you have have many nice trips yet!

Greetings
