Day 3


We got a good night's rest in the hostel last night and woke up to a free breakfast of cereal and bread :) We went back over to Tragular Square and went to the National Art Museum.  We saw some great famous paintings, then Rob noticed that they had paintings done by all the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. You know, Michelangelo, Leonardo, etc...so we started looking for one of each Turtle.  Didn't find a Donatello, and were too embarassed to ask in case he wasn't really named after a famous artist. 




  We had a pretty close call making our train to Brussels.  Just picture 2 Americans running with at least 100 lbs of luggage.  After we got seated on the train I asked Rob if he felt like he had just competed in a Strong Man competition (with his mother running behind him)? We took the train to Brussels that goes under the English Channel.  Very cool.  We were only under the water for about 20 minutes.  The British and Belgian countryside is absolutely gorgeous!


Megan totally surprised us at the train station!
