Europe Day 2 Brussels Belgium

This morning, we checked out of our London hotel and took the Underground to St Pancras Station, where we boarded a Eurostar train to Brussels, Belgium. 

The trip took two hours, plus we lost an hour due to the time change, so we arrived in Brussels around 2:30 pm. We found our way out of the train station and to a taxi stand and about 15 minutes later we were at our hotel.

Our hotel was close to the European Parliament building. After settling in a bit we headed out. We walked through Gardens of Brussels by the Royal Palace to the Grand Place, a little over a mile. 

Along the way we stopped and had some Frites. Once we got to the Grand Place we admired the architecture and had a drink at the Hard Rock Cafe there (No 35).  

We then continued through a shopping area, where we looked through some stores and ate waffles. We then grabbed a cab back to our hotel. We were pretty tired by this time so we lounged a bit then went to bed.
