Last day in London and Brugge, Belgium

Now I can officially mooch free internet from my hotel room from a cafe very close down the street. So early yesterday we began our travel to Brussels, Belgium by train. We arrived and dropped our stuff at the hotel and headed for another hour train that took us to a small medieval city called Brugge. This was a very cool, old town which is known specifically for its lace. We even got to see an old lady making some right in front of us. Then it was quickly back to Brussels because I had a test this morning, so there was not too much to do besides study. Today I will get to explore Brussels a little more. I did get to try a Belgian Waffle though, and I was quite surprised by it. Instead of a sort of breakfast food, it is basically a sweet pastry here. Not exactly what I wanted for my lunch. It would make a great dessert though.

My last day in London was pretty fun though. We had been hearing about the famous platform 9 3/4 the whole time we have been here so I got to go see it! We also went to Harrod's which is like a GIANT Department store. It takes up about 2 city blocks and is 5 stories.
