A weekend in Belgium

My man and me, We have just returned from an evening spent in our favorite absinthe bar in the heart of Brussels. There, we met an English couple who told us that Belgium was an excellent place to spend pleasant evenings.

Have you ever come to Belgium?
If yes, do you also that Belgium is THE land of good bars?

I was to Belgium once. Visited Brussels and Waterloo. It was a school trip to the EU parliament.
My schoolmates and I spent the majority of our visit in Brussels at a pub, I've forgotten the exact name, but it's the pub with the biggest choice of bears in the whole wide world. Belgian bear is the best in the world! We tried as many different ones as we could. I haven't had fruit bear before that visit. Loved the cheery flavoured one and coconut one! yummy!
I also went with some of my metal friends (I was the only goth in high-school) to a small cafe, that had real coffins as tables and funeral flower arrangements on the (black) walls. Very cosy.

Ah I have yet to visit Belgium.

Hoping to explore more of Europe as I grow older..I've only ever been to France out of the European countries.

I do so wish to travel there in the future, to spend lovely evenings and to visit this before it is no more. Though you have to sneak onto the property,due to still being owned by the railways:
Chateau De Miranda (Noisey)


And here is a link to more photo's and I believe more of the history.

I was in Brussels about 20 years ago, but I was with my parents and was only 15, and American parents don't take 15-year-olds into bars. Oh, well. My dad nearly bit the head off a poor waiter who brought wine glasses for my sister and me when my parents ordered a bottle of wine in Paris. Once again, oh well. I have to get back to Europe.

Many thanks for sharing that one. I love creations that open my eyes.
