The Most Amazing Week (part 2)

Yay here I am again. Lack of updates is due to only one thing: work. It makes me so tired that when I come online, I never feel like blogging...

But anyway, here is part two of the most amazing week:

On Monday I woke up quite early to take the bus to Antwerp, and pick Kriszti up for her first day spent in Belgium. We walked around the historical city centre of Antwerp, sat down somewhere for more than an hour and just talked and talked. We had lunch, and then got to the bus to go to my house. There we spent some time on msn, and then we had dinner. Spaghetti :D Then at night, we went back to Scoutel, and I took the bus home...
You can find a much more detailed report of this day at Kriszti's space =p

Me and Kriszti, in the back you can see the river Schelde

Then on Tuesday, I got up early (again) , took the bus to Antwerp (again) . I picked up Kriszti, and we went to the train station. There, we bought tickets for the train to Brussels. We arrived in our capital around 11 (i think...gosh i dont even remember anymore :s ) I noticed that the station looks a lot nicer when you dont run around there like crazy trying to find someone XD
Then outside the station we started our search to the "Grande Place" where I would start my very well organized tour *cough* to show Kriszti around the city.

We found the Grande Place, and after getting a map at the tourist info, we started our city walk. The walk brought us to some interesting monuments in Brussels... I didn't have much to say on all the stuff, but at least Kriszti saw the city =p The most important thing according to me was Manneke Pis (The Peeing Guy! lmao!) :D
Around noon, we decided that we would just find the royal palace, and then rest a bit and get some lunch. But appearantly, "just finding the royal palace" isn't as easy as it sounds. Even though we had a map, we didn't manage to get to it...Well we got to the place where it was supposed to be (according to the map) but it just wasn't there. Lol!
Anyway, we gave up on the royal palace, and went back to the city centre to find something to eat (and give our feet some rest! cause auch, mine hurt so much). We sat there for almost two hours I think, eating fries (yup, Belgian fries lol) and chicken. Sitting down felt soooo good lol. At some point, we started reading the first sms's we got from eachother =) =) =)

Then around 3 (i think) we decided to go to the subway, and get to the Atomium and mini-europe. So we got on the subway, but halfway the trip, the tram stopped at a stop (oh really? XD) and didnt start anymore. The lights went out for a moment, and we were asked to "leave the carriage". So we had to wait for another tram to take us to the Atomium. We finally got there around 16.30. We bought tickets for mini-europe, and walked around there for an hour. I'd never been there before, and I gotta say that it's quite fun :)
Some pics:

Me in front of the Arc De Triomphe

When we'd walked through the entire "parc" of mini-europe, we both got an ice lolly, which was soooo good cause the weather was really hot. Of course, I managed to spill it all over me (and that includes getting it into my shoes).
We also bought a keychain with a picture of us posing with the mini-europe mascot =) Dunno how many times since Sunday that i've been looking at that keychain...but it's a lot.

Then around 6 we got back on the subway to the train station. We decided to take the train home and arrived in Antwerp around 7.30 (i think). I didn't stay in scoutel very long, since we were both tired and needed some sleep.
It really was an awesome day =) =) =) At night, my voice (!!! =p ) was almost totally gone. I'm really not used to talking so much XD .
