Hi everyone!!! Sorry it took so long to write this up. I finally got the Internet working on my iTouch for free so why spend the money in a shop??? Anyways, we got in after a horrific flight that involved an on-again, off-again screaming child. I was exhausted since anyone who's flown with me knows that I can't sleep on planes.

We passed Grand Place and saw the Chinese district and saw a nu,ber of parks and statues. But this was not the reason for our tour.
