Manneken Pis-the famouse peeing boy-he really is small, only about 60cm

After leaving Bruge-very sad it was a lovely city with the best chocolate and wafals-I headed to Gent, which I had heard was very nice. I dont know if it was because it was a Sunday and a lot of things were closed, or because I was sick (death would have been a nice alternative to how I was feeling), but I was thoroughly disappointed by Gent.
Had planned on staying there for the best part of 2 days, but after a mere 4 hours, I had seen everything there seemed to be to see. Therefore I made a quick exit the next day straight after breakfast and headed to Brussels instead-which from the day I have spent here, is much nicer, more to see (including 3 peeing statues, the original boy peeing, then to even it up, a girl peeing, and I suspect someone taking the micky, a dog peeing), and not nearly as dirty-and I am now feeling almost well again. Life is good.
So after more chocolate (Belgium does do good chocolate, and you have to keep trying incase you missed some good ones), more waffels (they change with the city), I have one more day sightseeing here, before I head to Amsterdam.
Photos soon when the net actually decided to co-operate and work on my computer!!!!

Enjoy Amsterdam, I loved Amsterdam, but . . avoid the red light district ;-)
Love Mum
Hi Rhiannon! I enjoyed Haarlem about 12 miles from Amsterdam with it's intact middle age inner city!
Best regards from Geoff!
Glad you got to Gent...
Not that I know much about it other than some limericks that start
"There was a young man from Gent"
and ends up
"instead of coming he went.."
Now at my age I only wish I could remember what went in the middle....
But it sounds very interesting...
LOL
