A day of shopping in Brussels

After my question the evening before and the amazing dinner we had at the restaurant, we were not so willing to go out of bed on the following morning and we had a peaceful pleasant morning having espresso and eating breakfast in our Brussels holiday apartment. We decided to spend this day researching and walking along the streets of the Belgium capital. Thus, we first went to the Dansaert area where we went into some nice stores and later to the la Bourse location where we had a snack at a trendy café there.

Next we headed towards the Rue Neuve, which is a longer road of stores which however could be very costly.
Our subsequent stop was the City 2 Mall where Amelia purchased a few dresses and I bought a couple of books I was searching for back in my home town and couldn’t find. Then we’d some fun moments at the Galleria Agora, which is a type of a bazaar with lots of unusual but low-cost goods. The next stop we made was very opposite with regards to quality, style and price. The last shopping stop we made was at the uptown Haut De La Ville area where we came into fantastic jewellery shops and haute couture boutiques.

On the way returning to our Brussels, Belgie short stay apartment, we passed through the symbol of the city – the Manneken Pis and were astonished to see there were not numerous people in front of it. Thus, we made some great images there.
Then, exhausted from the shopping, but happy with all the items we bought, we went back to the Brussels holiday accommodation we had and had a good long sleep before our next evening out, during which we wanted to make some night photos and to drink ale at a nearby pub.
