So, where in the world is Alyssa Noel Markham? Brussels, Belgium! Congrats to savage_penguin and cereselle for their correct guesses!

Well folks, I’m both surprised and pleased to tell you that I made it to Brussels with absolutely zero incident. This is one of the first times I have ever had a trip go absolutely smoothly, even just one leg of it! The trip to London was dull, but I am proud to say I navigated the London underground without a hitch! The Eurostar was interesting for all of ten minutes before it got old (though the silence when we went under the water was pretty cool). I arrived in Brussels at 9:30PM and quickly arrived at my hostel. The first day of my trip is sadly uneventful as, after some lovely conversation with one of my hostel-mates, I went to sleep in my very squeaky bed.

The next day started early and after dressing I hurried down to the continental breakfast that, I kid you not, consisted of five pieces of bread, one slice of cheese, a bowl of corn flakes, a glass of juice, and a hot chocolate. The condiments included jam, butter, and chocolate frosting. I’m forced to agree with Lora, my hostel-mate, “When did chocolate frosting become a condiment?” And before you comment, no, it wasn't nutella, it was chocolate frosting.

With chocolate soaked bread warming my belly, I made my way out into the open (and freezing) air of Brussels.
