Llegamos a Bruselas, el día 15 de Diciembre, viajamos en Iberia. Y tuvimos una escala en Madrid. Llegamos allí, en Bruselas a las 13:45 hora local.  El vuelo, las cuatro nos costó 73€ en total. Después   fuimos a comer a un restaurante llamado Chez Leon, comimos muy bien, y con buen precio.  Llegamos caminando al hotel, el hotel es un edificio gris, y con balcones, allí nos atendieron bastante bien. Luego fuimos a pasear, vimos tiendas, y vimos el famoso monumento ‘Manneken Pis’ es una estatua de un niño, está hecha de Bronce, y es famoso, porque el niño está haciendo pis. Se creo en 1619. El segundo día, fuimos a la Grand-Place, una de las plazas más reconocidas de Bruselas,  la plaza es gigante, y en medio de toda la plaza hay una alfombra de flores enorme. Este lugar histórico ha sido un escenario de numerosos acontecimientos tanto alegres como trágico. Por ejemplo, en 1523, dos hombres, fueron quemados por la Inquisición allí. Y muchos más acontecimientos. Fuimos a desayunar, y en metro, llegamos al Atomium, el monumento más conocido en Bruselas. Es un monumento, se hizo en 1957, tiene más de 100 metros, está formado por nueve esferas de acero. Está ubicado en el parque Heysel. Volvimos en metro, fuimos a almorzar, y al terminar, fuimos a un museo de coches, allí aprendimos mucho sobre la evolución de los coches. Allí estuvimos unas dos horas, y luego a cenar. Al día siguiente estuvimos en un autobús turístico visitando el Parlamento Europeo, el museo de Bellas Artes, y muchos más sitios importantes. Salimos a las 14:00h, comimos, recogimos las maletas y nos acostamos pronto, porque el día siguiente íbamos a Hong Kong.
