ves and I went to Belgium for the Easter holidays of 2001. Belgium is the home of beer, chocolate and Moules et Frites (Mussels and Fries).What's amazing about Brussels is, the city is completely bi-lingual, so everthing is written in French and Flemish, or some things are written in German or English, or all four.

Brussels is packed with dogs! Dogs everywhere, and where there are no dogs in sight, there sure is a trail of dogs droppings. Stinky!! Anyway, we saw this cute lil sign for a dogs toilet. If only they had more of these, eh? If you go to Brussels, watch where you walk!!

Here is Yves enjoying a nice cold Kwak (A very special Belgian Beer) after a hard day out and about Brussels in the rain.We went to A la Becasse for this beer, which is a great little pub in the centre of town.

Here's me looking like a drowned rat, after coming in from the rain for a beer. I quite liked the glasses the beer came in, but the beer itself takes some getting used to. It kind of has a cherry aftertaste to it.

This is a typical street in the upper class area of Brussels. Here you will find doctor's, lawyers etc, and the area is very clean and well kept.

Yves looking mischievous. This was taken at Alex's flat. Alex is a friend of Yves' from technical school and he is living in Brussels. We stayed with him for Easter.

Here I am in Alex's flat, just before we went out sight seeing in Brussels.

This picture was taken inside a Kebab shop that we ate at on the Monday, a few hours before flying home to Edinburgh. The paintings on the walls are so surreal! Look closely at the pic and you'll need to blink to check that you are seeing the picture correctly. It is strange!
