Do you know that Belgium is apparently kind of not so well known country,
at least outside Europe.
I’ve never thought like that about Belgium,
but some Belgians said it.
Often people hear about Brussels, but not really about Belgiumā¦
Yes, the name of brussels sprout was delivered from the name of the City of Brussels.
The Atomium is very originally shaped museum in Brussels.
This building was designed and built for the Brussels World’s Fair in 1958 (Expo58).
Manneken Pis is considered one of the symbols of Brussels
and it definitely shows the sense of humour or the citizens.
I visited Brussels a few times, and each time I was checking what kind of clothes this little man is wearing this time. š
Brussels has a lovely, historical centre,
that’s absolutely worth visting!
The City of Brussels is the capital of Belgium.
One of the slogans to promote Belgium says:
“Chocolate is best when it is kept out of the sunā¦ No surprise that the best is found in Belgium”.
š
Well, let’s keep it without a comment,
just try chocolate while visiting Belgium. š
Do you know The Smurfs cartoon?
The Belgian comics artist Peyo (Pierre Culliford) created Smurfs.
One of my “small travel dreams” was to spend a night in a boathouse.
Well, I was even thinking to rent a boathouse when I was living in the Netherlands.
Anyway, my dream came true in Belgium and it was a very nice experience.
p.s. It’s not the same as sailing etc.
Here you can read more about today’s picture,
however, I only wanted to bring your attention to probably the most known Belgian dish.
Of course, Belgian cuisine is much more than fires, beer or chocolate. š
National Belgian flag consists of three vertical stripes: black, yellow and red.
Many people often don’t remember the order of colors,
and confuse Belgian and German flag.
(And it absolutely makes sense!
Belgium has 3 official languages: Dutch, French and German.
Belgium is located in Europe,
bordered to France, Germany, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands.
Welcome to Belgium.
This July on my blog is going to be all about this small and somehow unknown important European country.
Today we’re leaving CuraƧao.
I hope you liked my pictures, at leats some of them;
I don’t expect anyone likes photos of sad, dirty beaches.
CuraƧao is a nice island.
Go there is you have a chance.
And definitely you should go there if you live in the Netherlands! š
Seeing lizards in CuraƧao is nothing special.
But they are still cute. š
If you’re lucky, you may also spot some dolphins around CuraƧao.
Probably each tropical island has its dark sideā¦
One side of Klein CuraƧao looks like a paradise,
but the other side – looks like thatā¦
so sad š
White sand, corals, water and blue sky – sometimes that’s all you need. š
