Waterloo

M and M lived quite close to Waterloo, so it only made sense to check the famous site of Napolean's last battle. We went to both the Lion Hill Monument/Vistor's Center/Wax Museum/Panorama and the museum at Le Calliou farm. Check out the link to Waterloo in this blog's links list for the historical details if you like (note the left side where you can choose "Preface to the battle" and "the Battle", but I'll give a brief summary here too. Actually, I'm going to come back to this later - just made way too many errors which took way too long to fix because I am way too tired...stay tuned.

Brussels, Belgium

We drove on to Brussels to find Mats and Maj-Stin who we had met in Sweden and had invited us to visit. They had come to meet us in Stopafors at Christmas time after reading about a Canadian family (us) living and playing hockey in the area. They had lived in Canada before, and Mats still goes there for business yearly. Turns out we have a mutual friend in Prince George! Anyway, we took them up on their very kind offer, and spent 3 lovely days with them exploring the area and enjoying their hospitality. Mats plotted out a walking tour of the heart of Brussels for us and the following pictures are from that day.
