We made it! Boy what a long plane ride, but the girls were real troopers. We got here about 8:40 this morning and our bags made it with us- that was a great surprise. We cleared customs and met our limo to the hotel without a hitch. We were exhausted- so we rested a while and then took an afternoon tour (hop on hop off) in a double decker bus. It was fun, but it is cool here and the girls were freezing and needed food-- so we cut our tour short and found a good American burger-- We needed that more than you can imagine after 20 plus hours of travel-- we will wait for tomorrow to test out the local cuisine. Our hotel is in the center of everything. The Cathedral of St. Michael is right across the street. Devyn has already taken over 200 pictures. After only a few hours here, we have fallen in love with the people and sights of Brussels- a great first stop on our trip. We will check in again in the next few days, but for now the adventure is great!-- The Danley's
Woohoo! So glad that you guys made it...let the adventures begin! I've been checking the blog all day...we had an earthquake in DC this morning!@# Can you beleive that? Tucker and I slept right through it. Very minor...but it made the news. Hugs and kisses to my world-traveling nieces!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great start for you! So by "freezing" you mean like 75? (ha...) The best cup of hot chocolate I ever had was in Belgium...is it cold enough for that? Can't wait to hear more!!
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear that you are enjoying Brussels! It's a beautiful place...and so much more lies ahead! Cats miss you all and racoons are eating like champs. All is well. Boys send you all a shout out (literally) :) Have a great time!
