Spent a little bit of time there, but more in Brugge & Antwerp. Definitely recommend waffles with fresh cream and fruit! Oh, and a cone of chips with mayonnaise. Can't have my chips any other way now. Belgium is very negotiable by train btw - only takes 3 hours to get from one side to the other. The odd 'alstublieft' (please), 'dank U' (thank you) and 'Hallo/tot ziens' (hello/bye) will get you a long way. Except, of course when they're French speakers - probably in Brussels LOL.

Lovely place...although I was theer with work so didn't see all that much. I would reccomend the beer...but alas in your current condition! The chocoalte are mouthwatering though. It is foodie heaven, and the people are lovely. The mannequin De pis (sp???!!!) is actually a fake, and the real one is somewhere else, but it has some interesting history. I see m to remember that it was split into Quarters, of different languages, although alas, most of my memories of Brussells are a bit blurred (See earlier mention of beer)
Hope you have a lovely time!

Kriek beer is gorgeous, there are lots of fab restaurants, mussels are very popular, its not bad for shopping.
We did the open top bus trip round the city ( we always do when we go somewhere. We generally do a full loop on Saturday morning to get our bearings and decide what we want to see more of, and then use it as a hop on hop off service for the rest of the weekend.
If you like tintin you are in for a real treat!
