BELGIUM

BRUGES
Beautiful medieval city, if you can get away from the tourists. It had a very peaceful feel to it. The Belgian people are very laid back, and friendly. We met a couple of people, and decided to spend the night tasting the Belgian beer. We tried about a dozen different kinds of beer, one that tasted like cherry, one like brandy, and numerous others! Who knew that Belgian beer went up to 12% alcohol!
Great night, rough morning. All of us spent the next day taking it easy, roaming the quiet streets, and observing the every day Bocci match that was being played in the town's sqaure.

Antwerpen
City with a ton of attitude, has that arrogance of that one city that every country has. It seems that every other Belgian city, hates Antwerpen, but the visitors love it.
This place has a cool vibe, with lots of grafitti, and great night life. There was only room in the hostel for one night, so off we went to Holland.

Sounds like great places! If I ever got to Ireland I'll definitely check them out!
