Even more updates!
So what's new pussycats?
I know what you're thinking, Patrick and Megan must be having such an exciting time overseas, but you know what? It's a Friday night in London and we couldn't think of anything more fun than hopping on-line to write some fluff about our travels for you, dear reader!
So anyway, following on from Megan's previous posts, we did have quite a busy December with Paris, Copenhagen and Belgium all on the menu but for a dessert we spent New Years Eve on a boat on the Thames, watching the best fireworks display I've ever seen, made all the more exciting by copious amounts of booze, a bottle of Moet for midnight and the London Eye, Big Ben and the MI6 building from the Bond Movies in the background!
Some of the crew we hired to spend New Years with
On the upper deck waiting for the show
London Eye all lit up
It's even better in the video clips!
Just to add to Megan's post on Belgium - it was freakin awesome! Definately highly recommend it. The food, the chocolate, the beer! Some of the beers were as strong as wine, I think the highest alcohol content one I had was about 12.5% and there was an awesome range of fruit beers - the old favourite from the Belgian Beer Bar peach, raspberry, cherry, strawberry, apple, passionfruit, banana (that one was a bit wierd), blackcurrant - and that was just Christmas night!
We spent most of our tour in Brugges but took a day trip to Brussels - not a whole lot to do in Brussels, but we did get to see the Manneke Pis (Pissing Boy) and very equally mindedly the Jeannecke Pis (Pissing Girl). Other than that, there's not a whole lot to do in Brussels, other than eat seafood and check out the Main Square
Mannecke Pis all dressed up for the season
Jeannecke Pis doing her thing
In the central square
Random Belgian Signage
Belgian waffles!
That's about it for us tonight.
Will post more soon about the infamous Church, Liverpool and my new job.
Check back again in about 3 months... just kidding, I think...
PK
P.S If anybody has the desire to see more photos and they're a Ringo (photo sharing website) member let me know and I can tell you how to see all the drunken action shots we've taken!
