Safe! (and on time)

YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD BE LOVING GOD????!!!!!! Oh, wait, I did get to Brussel just fine, didn't get lost once, or start freaking out because I might not get to my hostel in time for checking and be homeless for a night...maybe I should exclude safe and timely travel from the list of 'Reasons why there might be a god'. But yeah, here's the break down:
14:00 Got a shuttle from the hotel
14:20 got to Assen station, validated my Eurail no problem and was going down to the plat forms to figure out where to wait when the guy I rode the shuttle with said 'hurry! there's the train!' And I'm like 'Whaaaa?', 'cause my train wasn't supposed to come until 15:00. He goes yeah, hurry, get on! And I'm like WHERE DOES IT GO. All he says is south and change trains to Rotterdam in Amsersfort. So I get on. And like clock work I get off at Amersfort and walk over to the next platform to the front half of the train going to Den Haag/Rotterdam. Wouldn't know it though, I arrive in Rotterdam 5 minutes too late to make the connecting train to Brussels so I have to wait an hour. Oh well. Saw some interesting creatures too- had my first murse sighting and there was a guy with a mellet but with dreads in the back (Becca, come up with a funny name for it) Anyway, I get to Brussel-Zuid station and find the metro and get off (HEYO) at my atop and find my hostel. It was like clockwork- confusing clockwork.

I put my stuff in my room and since it was only 8:00 and there were at least two more hours of solid daylight I started walking. Here are some pictures:






There's more, but the internets are being dum. I'll update later.
