First day in Belgium! (Enghien)

June 15:

In the morning we all woke up around 10 AM. We all had to be checked out by 11 AM so I put my bags in the luggage room and headed over to the Hostel where Kim, Carolina, Dom, Pierce and Liam were staying. We hung out there for a while and at one point Carolina went to get Eoghan because he was staying at a Hostel in the center of Amsterdam. The two of them met up with us later at the Schiphol train station. Dom, Pierce, Liam, Kim and I all left to go to a train station to get to Schiphol. 


We met up with Eoghan and Carolina at that station and waited until 3:46 PM when the next train was that we needed to catch to get to Belgium. 


We got on the train and we took a 3 hour train ride to Belgium, then another 30 minute one to Herne. 


Liam's dad then came to pick us up to take us to their house.

We went to bed around midnight the night before and we all woke up around 11:30 AM. We slept a while but we made breakfast. I made myself some scrambled eggs and put some salami in mine, I also had about 4 pieces of toast with butter. Since it was quite late in the day already we decided not to go to Brussels until tomorrow. We decided to just walk to a nearby town called Enghien. It was about a 75 minute walk away. We left around 1:15 PM and it was a very pretty walk there. 

We found these vending machines that had bread in them

Once we got into Enghien, we found a supermarket and bought some food for lunch and went to a nearby park to have a picnic. I got some cheese and ice-cream and Reese's.


On the way back it started to rain so we had to walk in the rain for a bit.

We finally got back home around 6:30 PM and had dinner. We had pasta.


I made a short video of our walk to Enghien and back. Check it out below!!
