Night in Bruxelles
(Slowly but surely...!)
On September 16 we went through Antwerp and then arrived in Brussels early evening.
We dropped our stuff at the hotel and went straight to rue des Bouchers to have moules (mussels) for dinner (another great recommendation of my friend Simon-Pierre)!
I had never seen so many restaurants specializing in moules! Choice certainly wasn't lacking. Most restaurants were quite packed and had someone outside trying to convince passer-bys to come to theirs. We had no clue which would be best, so first we decided to check prices, also all too similar, and try to find a good deal.
Approaching the end of the restaurant area of the street, we found a calm restaurant where no one was harrassing passer-bys (and (therefore?) there were almost no customers), Chez Karim. We each had a large pot of moules, with fries of course! We were really full when we got out of there.
Later in the evening, we walked down to Grand-Place (Market-Square). We didn't quite know what it was about, but it seems like we got there just at the right time since the sight and sound show began just then. Grand-Place's impressive city hall is then lit up with colorful lighting synchronized with classical music.
