Brussels, Belgium

We left for Amsterdam on the 14th and decided to say in Brussels, Belgium for the night, where we had to switch trains. Brussels was not too impressive - rather rundown and dirty, but the center square was magnificent. We walked around the city quite a bit at night and enjoyed dinner right on the 16th century square, which was populated by quite a crowd all night long because they are having a festival that features hundreds of thousands of tulips laid out in a pattern in the center of the square.

We stayed at the Van Gogh Youth Hostel in Brussels which was not too bad, but we had to share the room with two French guys, a German guy and a Turkish guy, who were all a bit odd.
