This morning we woke up and ate breakfast at our
hostel around 7. We loaded the buses afterwards and briefly stopped in the city
of Cologne to see the cathedral. After that we began our drive to Brussels. I
can’t remember how long the drive was because I fell asleep, but we got there
around 12:30. We had free time for about 3 hours to eat, explore, and buy
things. Initially it was sunny, but throughout the afternoon it rained on and
off the whole time. I ate crepes at a tiny restaurant with Johnny, William,
Crash, and Sam for lunch. We all felt better after that and began to look
around the city more. I ate a Belgian waffle with chocolate and strawberries
(yes the waffles are as good as they are said to be) and walked around with
Sam. Due to our lack of time, we couldn’t specifically visit any of the main
sights which was too bad. I did however see the Brussels Royal Palace because
our buses weren’t parked far away. At 15:45 we drove to Bruges. We first
stopped at our hotel and then regrouped outside to go into the city for dinner
together in a restaurant. Afterwards we had free time to explore, but it was
very cold and windy, and Johnny and I didn’t stay out very long.

That about sums up today. Sorry these entries have
been so brief and direct. I promise that I am taking a lot of pictures and
learning and enjoying this a lot! We go to Paris tomorrow and maybe I can write
more then!
