Taste tests: Ebi-kun Eats and taste tests - cuberdons

This was recorded when wee were in Vienna but the 'treat' was actually a gift from Christie who we met up with in Brussels, so this is Ebi-kun trying a Belgium treat in Vienna, as you do! I actually quite liked these but then I had lost my voice for a few days and had ben sucking on throat tablets almost continually so maybe it was because my taste buds had died!

Over on my work website, jojoebi.com I have done a couple of posts about what we learned from a year of FB posts and I think it is safe to say we have both learned quite a lot, it has been an interesting experience and some things popped up that I hadn't expected, all in all it has been a great experience, read more about it HERE

Euro Tour Day #2 Brussels

[Aug 2nd]

We had an hour and a half in Brussels and so a friend, Christie said she would come and meet us with her two kids, to say a quick hello. She suggested a whirlwind tour of the city centre, I would have never attempted this alone in such a short time frame but she knew where she was going and also knew the trains so we were in safe hands.

First stop was to see the peeing boy, my last visit to Brussels, many moons ago, we walked around for 3 hours trying to find the peeing boy, he is that small we had walked past him several times!

Then a quick stop to grab a waffle - a REALLY good waffle! 

Then a quick, and I mean quick look at the Grand Square. This place I remember well, we were sat there in the evening and suddenly classical music started and all the buildings were lit up with coloured lights. The show lasted a good hour and it was one of the highlights of my trip. Unfortunately this time, it was just very wet and rainy! But the waffles were good and that's what is important!

Then we jumped back on the train to the station so we could catch the next train to Cologne. We did manage to buy some chocolate before we left! It really was a quick tour and I felt bad because I had completely lost my voice, so I could only croak the odd word at Christie! Hopefully we will be able to meet up again when she is back in Japan.
