Bruges was a very nice place. It has most of its medieval architecture intact. We left Bruges in the morning after breakfast, back to Brussels city.

The train station is pretty huge, with many platforms

Next destination in the list was Mini Europe. We took the train from the city center and walked a short distance to Mini Europe. The Atonium was located next to Mini Europe.

Inside Mini Europe

There were many “mini” buildings along the path way. All of us were busy taking pictures of the buildings without knowing the origins. The label was all that we read!

After visiting Mini Europe, we headed back to city center. It was already evening by that time. Since we will be back to Manchester the next day, we went shopping for souvenirs. I bought some chocolates (ridiculously expensive ones) from Chocopolis. Each customer was entitled for 1 try only.

1 small piece of chocolate costs €0.60, yes you read it right!

31

Stone chocolates?

We went back to our hotel to take a rest. The initial plan was to have a good dinner (something like Day 2) but most of us ran out of Euros. We had no choice but to take something cheaper. After walking around the city, we ended up in a kebab shop. The kebab tastes good, enough to fill my grumbling stomach and it costs €4.50 only (if I can remember well).

“Fold-over” kebab, it was huge!

    Wow, Yao Siang! It has been sometime since I saw you talking about your “vacation”! I guess with your visit to the mini Europe, there is no need for you to visit the rest of Europe anymore! Well, I’m sure nothing beats seeing the real thing though!

    Before I clicked to read this post, I saw the picture and goes, “Wow! He grew taller!”
    I was under the illusion that the Brussels Grand Place is situated far away and only to read on later and find out that it is the mini version!
    Aiks!
    You are still the same height after all.
    And taller than me anyway so don’t take it as an insult ya!
    Hehe..

    I assume the photos without captions are those you don’t know the origins to? :D

    The photo above the Eiffel Tower is the House of Parliament in London; the photo under “Take Two” is the Arc d’Triomphe in Paris; the round stadium thing is the Coliseum in Rome!

    XD
    hope u enjoyed ur little europe trip!
