2 days in belgium...

After punting on Friday evening, Vern, Matt, Homy and I decided that we should get away from the madness and schoolwork facing us in Oxford for a few days. We got online about midnight and booked tickets on the Eurostar train to Brussels for the following morning! We left Oxford around 10am, making it to Brussels around 3pm.

We spent the evening wandering all over the city, from the main square to the Manneken Pis statue to the federal buildings and a park on the hill. We found a cozy little local restaurant for dinner, and ended up at the Havana Club after that.

Sunday we decided to take a day trip (yes, from our 2-day trip to Brussels), and got on the train to Brugge for the day! Brugge was gorgeous. The city was lively and full of tourists, and every turn offered another amazing view. We saw all the sights and then returned back to Brussels for dinner and another night out. Monday morning we caught the early train back to England and made it back to head straight to our morning lectures! A nice break!!
