Europe Part 3 - Belgium #

Brussels #

I was only in Belgium for one night, but I had a lot of fun. I stayed in Brussels. It’s a beautiful city, of course. Birthplace of Audrey Hepburn, location of an escape room I nearly had a chance to try and escape from except for the drunk northern irish couple I met and hung with until the girl puked everywhere and gave me 50 euros for some reason. Ah. Belgium.
