The Brussels Diary Day II: Europe in Tiny Scales

Hello again, guys! I’m baaaack. I’m not sure if anyone’s waiting for me but I’m just going to let you know that I have a new post for you. If you follow me on instagram, you should’ve known by now that I went to Brussels last week. We had the worst luck during this trip: our bus broke down on the way there, it rained on and off during most of our time there, it stormed in Germany while we were in Belgium which ruined our train schedule and we were pretty much stranded on our way home. But I’m glad we went there, which is something I’d been wanting to do since last semester. It was, all in all, a rather fun albeit seemingly short trip.

This post has been broken down into four parts from the originally compiled post.

Now comes the day we ate belgian waffles in a ’20s style café for breakfast, namely Mokafe. My life is complete. Perfect, really, since I’m also lusting after la belle époque. The waffles were amazing. Firu got the fruit frais, Iva got the sucre while I ordered the banane au choco chaud – I hope this all makes sense from the photos. They were a little pricey compared to other waffles for sale but the quality speaks for itself. They were crispy enough to cut but also tender inside. Top-notch, I’d say!

Afterwards, we caught the metro headed for Mini-Europe. It was a remarkable experience, we got to have a mini Europe tour within two hours. Obviously, we learnt a lot and thank God it only started raining as we were heading out to lunch at Quick. Man, just thinking about Quick makes me miss that place somehow. Afterwards, we walked high and low trying to find the museum I wanted to visit next, only to be drenched and told that we were too late. Exhausted, we headed back to the hostel after buying instant meals to heat up for dinner. Iva and I hung out at the bar afterwards while Firu showered. Hours of heartfelt talk later, we tucked ourselves into bed.
