Day 6 BeNeLux

Went to a boulangerie in the city of Luxembourg, which happened to be a lot smaller than Anders thought. Being a banking capital where most banks are foreign-owned and with extensive foreign dealings, where more than 30% of the country's labor force is cross-border workers, one would have thought that the city should be bigger than it was... French was the native tounge, but they understood english at McDonald's. After Luxembourg, we aimed for Belgium. However, we took a wrong turn and ended up in France, in the little town in the picture. We returned to Luxembourg and bought the cheapes gas on our trip, before we finally found Belgium and entered Brussels an hour or so later.

We had a hard time navigating in Brussels. We tried to aim for NATO, but we kept ending up on the wrong side of town. Then we tried to find the European parliament, but believe it or not, we passed it several times before we finally realized that it consisted of a number of completely anonymous regular-looking office buildings downtown. We thought we'd found something when we followed a big blank monument, but this was Mini Europe - supposedly a replica of Europe...? But we just took a picture of the thing and had a meal (not a pleasant experience for Jason, who had something that - for real - smelt and tested like cow droppings).

We continued into the Netherlands, ended up at Zeeland or some other island in the west were we were kicked out from one campground before we got a free stay at a party camping area...
