07/05/10 - Brussels - Belgium

We've been having some great times lately and everyone is happy again. Finn decided to create a contract the other day listing everyones faults that are causing conflict and a solution to address this fault. Tilly contributed as well. This was a great idea and we use this as a guide to correct innappropriate behaviour. Karinne commenced a very cold day in Brussels by doing some much needed clothes washing. After such chores were done we went shopping and did some collateral damage to the budget. It is difficult to understand everyone here as most do not speak English and everything is in French or Dutch. We shopped at the Grand Place which dates back to the 17th century and has 40 listed buildings. We all really liked Brussels and I did much more than Paris. We then visited the Maison du Roi museum which holds the history of Brussels. As I write this we are sitting in an outdoor area in the Grand Place admiring the Gothic buildings and enjoying two cappocinos and two cokes that just cost 16.20 Euros or $AU25.60. The chocolate shops are amazing and the chocolates so colourful, beautiful, unique in designs and flavours I know now why Belgium is so famous for them. We had dinner in a lovely restaurant in a tiny lane overflowing with places to eat and everyone spruking for our business. Tomorrow we head for Amsterdam.  PS - Happy birthday Lisa - Wish we were there for your party!

  1. Finn you are a genius! Well done - it sounds like you guys are all much happier. Liv suggested that Finn & Tilly should have t-shirts saying that they ride kangaroos to school, she also says "people from other countries will believe anything about Australia these days!" We love the bird photo - watch out for the ones that belonged to Alfred Hitchcock! Still glad I don't drink coffee or coke! Love Julie & Liv
