Bloody boring. We never felt safe. People were trying to fleece us all the time and it was very expensive. I like Brussels for business, but it's not my favourite place in the world. Love Washington DC - monuments, museums, food Hate New Delhi - heat and hassle. Re: Belgium.
My companion at the time thought the same. Sitting the Grand Place at night outside one of the bars, drinking a glass or two, people watching, then the illuminated display.
Ended up doing it every night of the stay. The musical instrument museum one of the best museums I've ever been in. The royal palace open in the summer makes Buck House look like a shed. We both thought Bruges dull and overrated. Go figure. Agree with previous poster that best country is Italy. I hated Canada east and west coast with a passion. I realise I am in the minority here though! Best country for me would be South Africa or Italy.
Best - America. So many different things to do and see. I did go to Bruges and it is lovely. I really disliked Brussels. It is fascinating how people have such different views of the same place. I loved New Orleans for example and always felt safe. Re New Orleans - I absolutely loved it! So much fun, such beautiful architecture, I felt very safe there. The garden district is a must see with all the huge mansions there, Frenchman street which is full of jazz bars - I just loved it Agree that Tunisia is a shithole Italy - love love love, so beautiful.
Apart from Venice which is a dump Valencia - favourite city in Spain. We struck lucky on the day we had in Brussels. We had looked around the main square and walked up to the park. We noticed a sign outside the palace stating that it was open and entry was free I believe it is only open a few weeks a year Looking around the palace was the icing on the cake. It was amazing. Loved: Iceland- friendly, clean, amazing scenery, Morocco, Egypt- I love North Africa for its smells and sounds and atmosphere, spectacular food and also thought Bruges was awesome!
