One of the first things I loved about Brussels was the houses/apartments, they had so much character and for some reason made me think of the apartment in 101 Dalmations. We did a quick tour past the main offices of NATO and the European Pariament, then we headed for the main part of the city.
some of the apartments on the way in to Brussels
of course one of the 1st things people think of when they first think of Belgium - the chocolate!
BRUSSELS!! basically we had free time until lunch to explore the city
The Cathedral in the centre of the city
Mannequin Pis
Belgian Waffles - there are no words to describe how good!!
The 2nd restaraunt across from the alley is where we had lunch
After lunch we began making our way to France. We arrived in France then continued towards Paris where we then went to our hotel in one of the outer suburbs, just catching a glimpse in the distance of the eiffel tower.
The next morning we got up, piled into the buses and headed for Versailles.
how you know your in France, there is a creperie every 100m
Versailles Palace - the outside entry somewhat resembling that in Charlie and the Chocolate factory
The Palace
Random statue on way in to palace
Hall just off the palace entrance

What can I say..
They were gorgeous!

Looking quite interested in what the guide phone thing has to say
Napoleon fighting in a war
Courtyard

the "backyard"
Left wing again
We had about 2 or 3 hours to wander the palace and ground then headed to lunch at a nearby restraunt, we tried French food and wine (wine, only a small amount for those over 18) then headed to Paris for a guided bus tour...
