Review of Belgium

Hello Everybody! Today I have walked around town for a bit, did see the Botanical Garden among other things.

In this post I will do a review of my time in Belgium. I am saying Belgium, because I hasn´t been just in Brussels, since I have been in Celles and Bastogne as well.

Accommodation:
In Brussels I´m staying in a hostel called Brxxl5 city centre, which for me is located a little bit south of the city, (Since it´s close to the south train station). But it´s within walking distance to the city centre and all the things worth seeing.
The Hostel itself is decent enough, lived in a 4 bed room, which was clean. relatively soundproof.
The hostel doesn´t have a kitchen, so people can´t buy their own food and cook for themselves. And because the lack of a kitchen, the hostel doesn´t serve breakfast.
The price for 6 nights are 168 Euros.

Do I recommend staying here? yeah I do, since it´s the only place I have stayed in here in Brussels.
Food:
I have tried some Belgian Waffles, I must tell you: They are amazing! Did try a waffles with Strawberries and Chocolate sauce, and another one with melted butter, Totally amazing!
I haven´t tried any real Belgian Chocolates, So I can´t give you an opinion about that!

I have noticed a lot of different beers around here (and since I don´t drink alcohol, I haven´t tried them) and if you love beer, you should come here!
Sights:
Here I will count everything I have seen while I have been here.
Brussels: Mannekin Piss, is a tiny little statue that they dress up every once in a while, is cool to see, just for the sake of it!
                Grande Place is a market square with nice buildings around it.
                Royal Park is a nice park to walk around in. I can also recommend Botanical Gardens.

Celles: Since I walked all around everywhere in and outside of Celles, I can recommend seeing Chateau de Veves, Celles itself, seeing Dinant and Aresemmes on the way to Celles.
And if you are going to Chateau de Noisy, sneak in from the back, because it´s has fences and locked gates. Be careful though because of a armed groundskeeper.

Bastogne: I can recommend seeing the 101st Airborne museum. And just have a walk around town. And if your feet are up to it, might go and check out Foy, where the foxholes from WW2 still are.

I can recommend coming here, not just for Brussels, but for the other towns as well!
