Day 26 - We might have died.

Today we found our way into Brussels and to the Grand Plaza but not without David falling off his bike! There are tram trains here and the wheel of the trailer got stuck in the track. Poor David ate it but no worries, hes alright! His bike did however suffer some scrapes that he was not happy about, but the only thing that was really hurt was his pride. After spending some time in the city center we made our way to the first place we were supposed to stay. At this point we still didn’t have a phone to get in touch with our hosts, we would just show up and a certain time determined by email. We were at Sarah’s house and no one was answering the door! We went around the corner to find a payphone and there was no answer. After awhile, we contacted the host we were supposed to stay with the night before, Katarzina, and asked if we could stay with them. She said we could so we got some delicious pita’s to go and ate in the park with some Belgian beer of course. We didn’t think Katarzina’s house was too far away so we weren’t concerned with leaving right away but of course we got lost on the way there and a twenty minute ride turned into two and a half hours. It was super late when we finally arrived at their house and we were really lucky that Katarzina and her fiance, Alex, were still awake. Actually David had forgotten her last name so we weren’t even sure of which button to ring for them to buzz us in. They heard us talking from their flat and came to let us in. We felt super super bad that we were so late and weren’t able to call when we got lost. It was impossible to find anyone to give us good directions to their house or even to a phone. Once they let us in we apologized and talked for a little bit before bed. It was decided that night we’re getting a phone!
