Travelling to Belgium In December, my girfriend and I had a travel to Belgium. You see, my girflriend (her name is Yana) already was in Belgium for one day during her tour over Europe. She liked Belgium much more than another countries. So we decided to visit it again, now for a week. We didn't get a tour. We just bough tickets to plane, made a booking in a hotel in Brussels and Schengen visas ourselves. We arrived Brussels at 22th of December. Our goal was to meet Catholic Christmas in Europe (in Russia people are usually Orthodox). We spent 3 days in Brussels and then then visited Bruges, Ghent and Antverp. Towns in Belgium are nice. They are calm, quiet. The architechture is great. There are beautiful medieval cathedrals, buildings of modern and Art Nouveau. In Bruges most of houses are from medieval and Renaissance. I think, there you can shoot failry tale films. We visited different museums. Also in Ghent we were in castle and in Anverp we visited a great zoo near the railway station. And of course, we bought a lot of gifts for our friends and relatives. Belgium is famous for its chocolate and waffles, so we ate them by ourselves and brought home a little.
