Belgium Treats
Belgium is known for its wide seleciton of beers, and also the food. Leffe has always been one of my favorite beers, so when in Belgium... why not? Christine and I also had to try some of the chocolate whilst in Belgium, so why not a Crepe with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce? Delicious!
Brugge - Night time
In the evenings, the canals are lit up. It is really pretty to walk along, and it feels very safe.
One of the days we were there, we decided to have a trip into Brussels. We took the train, and then went on a site seeing bus to see the sites. Parts of the city were nice, but I was glad we stayed in Brugge.

Tower of London skating
A couple of days before Chrstmas we decided to have a night skate at the Tower of London. The idea was great, and the setting was pretty impressive (it was in the moat at the Tower of London), but the skating itself wasn't quite up to the standards of Canadina skating. The skates were all hard platic (and moist when you put your foot in), and the ice wasn't quite up to the Canadian winter quality. Overall, a good experience, but I don't think we'd rush back.
Christmas Eve at St Pauls
On Christmas Eve, Christine and I went to St. Pauls for the 4 o'clock carol service. Unfortunately, we were not alone in thinking this would be a fun thing to do. For when we showed up, there were probably a thousand people in the queue, and it was already completely full. We'll have to show up a bit earlier next year!
