Land of Siestas and Fiestas

Just letting you know that i´ve just safely arrived in madrid. Barcelona was interesting but there was a public holiday there so nothing was really open except for tourist shops which were quite tacky.

Belgium was really good though. And so was the beer... of course! I got by with mostly French and the Flemish was very strange! We traelled to Louvaine, a cool university town where we found a lovely bar and a cute bartender who helped us find good beers! Brugs is the Hoegaarden copy which was pretty good!!

And Brugge was nice too but we only spent the afternoon-evening there. A long train ride back to Groenendaal but we got to accidently use the metro in Brussels!

Tomorrow we are off on a guided tour of the grand palace and also the historic part of the town but anyway i´ll keep it short and say bye!!
