Part
5.....Finally.....The last part of my adventure
Belgium
Brussels
Well a few hours after we left Paris we arrived in Belgium....We
went directly to our first stop....the Atomium ( I don’t know if that
is also the English word for it but if its not then I don’t know what
its called in English)....It was a nice sunny day and we just stayed
there for a couple of hours to eat ice cream and relax...After our
little break we left and headed to the hostel....Once we unpacked the
bus we went for a walk to the city and had a little tour....We saw the
Cathedral Saint-Michael and that was about it....We then had free time
to go shopping and eat...Well boy did we eat that night....My group
found a nice little place that had spaghetti for 3 euros.....We
figured that it wouldn’t be that much food for that cheap but we
decided to go anyways because we were hungry....Man were we
wrong.....The plates of spaghetti were HUGE....I’m talkin, it could
fed 2 of us and it would still be too much....Needless to say we were
full after that meal but somehow we ended up making room
for......WAFFLES!!!!!!.... OMG....I think those are the best things I
have ever eaten in my life....It was so warm and had strawberries,
chocolate, whip cream, and powder sugar on it.....I think that
everyone, at least once in their life, should go to Belgium just to
have a waffle....They are the most amazing things ever......How do
people come up with such good things to eat...You know, this is why
exchange students gain weight...Anyways...to get back on
track....After our free time was over we returned to the hostel and
had free time there....We met another group of kids that were there
and hung out for a while.....Then it was off to bed...
Brugge
On our second day in Belgium we woke up rather early and got on
the bus and headed to Brugge....Brugge was a nice little
place....nothing exciting but it was just a chill town...As soon as we
arrived we had a little tour of the town and then we had a boat tour
of the town.....It was a nice enjoyable ride....After our boat ride we
had an hour to go shopping and eat if we wanted to....When our hour
was up everyone met back at our meeting spot, arms full of
chocolate....It was sooo cheap to buy chocolate so everyone bought
sooo much.....We got back on the bus and headed back to Brussels... We
returned to the hostel and got ready to go out for the night....Once
we arrived in the city we had time to go eat dinner before we went to
a club, so guess where we went.....That’s right....we went to
spaghetti and of course waffles....After eating we all went to a club
for our “Last Day Of The Tour” party....We had so much fun and when we
had to leave nobody wanted to go....They had to force us
out.....However, once we got back to the hostel the party continued
and we didn’t go to bed until 5 am.....We would feel the after math
when we had to leave....
Back to Germany
Well we were woken up at 7 am....Talk about no sleep....After we
woke up everyone packed and had breakfast then went to the bus....Then
we were off...On our way back to Germany...I don’t think any of us
wanted to go back.....We all had such a great time on the Euro Tour
and it was all possible because of what Rotary does for us....If it
weren’t for Rotary who knows what we would do....So, THANK YOU Rotary
for everything that you have done for me....You have truly made my
dreams come true....I will never forget anything that has
happened....Thank You again....
