So here we are in Belgium, another country that neither of us had ever visited. We took a short train ride from Köln to our first stop in Brussels. It was rainy and slightly chilly as we walked from the train station to what we thought was our hostel, but turned out to only be the location of our check-in. 45 minutes later after hearing some awful directions, we found our hostel. What we hadn't anticipated about our hostel was the fact that it was just a small side street away from the main center with tons of cute restaurants and lots of interesting people, our time in Brussels was mainly spent around the square.
A few days later we took yet another train ride to a small town called Bruges. And yet again, we got stuck walking around in the cold rain. Our time in Bruges was mainly spent making new plans for the remainder of our trip, but was still beautiful. We didn't get any pictures, but there was a beautiful square with a fountain and lots of older buildings. So that was our time in Belgium. A bit shorter than a lot of our other stopovers.
In Bruges, Amanda found out that her grandmother was ill. So we spent a lot of the time trying to figure out the best course of action. We decided to finish out the parts of the trip we had planned up to Naples while sending all prayers out to DC.
