Brussels Belgium

The LAST stop of my super nice vacation in November was Brussels Belgium!! My friend Adriane was visiting a friend, and they decided to check out Brussels...which is about 2.5 hours by train from Eindhoven- so I met up with them in Brussels for the day. It was pretty awesome.. except my train from Eindhoven to the Belgium/Netherlands border was about 10 minutes late..and the connecting train to take me into Brussels was right on time. SOOO I missed my train!! ARGHH. and I had to wait 1 hour at the train station for the next one!! I felt So horrible because I had no way of contacting Adriane...and I was really worried she would just leave and then I would be in Brussels ALL by myself trying to find her. BUT thankfully she waited at the hostel for me! OMG i felt SOO bad!! (cuz the trains are usually so on time.)
Anyways, after it all, we had a blast in Brussels. very neat city- reminded me of italy-ish. very typical style of set up for european cities- have the city centre with amazing historic buildings, have the art museums and of course the "open markets" (well they are called "christmas markets" in belgium).
Here are some pictures from Brussels:
