The show in Cologne was great, we played at a relatively small venue.. about 4,000 people. It was a much more intimate gig compared to some of the larger arenas we are usually in. The place actually reminded me of the Electric Factory in Philly..
It rained all day yesterday in Leuven, Belgium.. Not the kind that just sort of blows through, but the stubborn, steady kind that slowly soaks you to the bone. We still walked around the local area and took a train into downtown Brussels, which was amazing despite the wet conditions. Huge, ornate gothic cathedrals, museums, cobblestone streets and alleyways, statues, corner cafés, Belgian ale houses, and, of course, waffle vendors..
On the way to the train station, we discovered that our hotel was right across the street from the Stella Artois brewery.
Stella is one of my favorites but sadly we didn’t make it, as we were on a mission to get down to Brussels. We will be sure to make up for it in Amsterdam and visit the Heineken brewery..
The Grand Place was spectacular, lots to see there. This is the Town Hall, completed in the 15th century..
More pics to come.
