Our trip to Spa

Our trip to Spa

Today was our first real day here in Belgium, yesterday we flew down here from Arlanda, Stockholm and it took about 2,5 hours. We changed from a flight to a train to get down here, to Spa, a small, beautiful city with tons of old buildings and monuments, such as Eglise Saint-Remacle, an old an gorgeous church.  

We started of the day by walking down a few of the older streets, looking in small shops and cafés. We ended up staying in a small restaurant where we tried their national dish who´s called Waterzooi and is a stew dish who were originally made with fish, but nowadays it´s more common with chicken, it also includes vegetables such as carrots, onions and potatoes and other soup ingredients. It was rather tasty and very satiating but nothing neither of us would make at home, it was just a fun onetime thing.

After an interesting forenoon with long walks and a satiating lunch we went to our final destination for the day, the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, a racing track where for instance F1 drive, one of the fastest car brands in the world.

Our day ended with us going back to the little room we hired for these two days, packed and ate a good dinner, tomorrow starts a new adventure.
