First, we went to the atomium on the outskirt of the city. We couldn't go last time because it was closed for renovation. It is a giant iron molecule, magnified 165 billion times, and built for Expo'58.
Inside, from the highest sphere, you get a panoramic view other the city and Mini-Europe. In the other spheres, two exhibitions were on display: one about Expo'58, the first World´s Fair of the post-war period, and a second one, Bipolar (from South to North, the extremes), about arctic and Antarctica.
We planned to go to Bruges on Friday, unfortunately the weather was appalling so we went to the musical instruments museum instead. This museum is really worth a visit. The art nouveau building itself is beautiful.
Some amazing and unusual instruments are on display and headphones allow you to hear the sounds of the various instruments.
We spent the weekend on the Belgium coast at Oostduinkerke. The weather was beautiful and we had a great time wandering around.
GruikGruik and Leon had fun as well :o)))
We are now back in sunny Dundee and we have to wait 11 weeks before our next holidays (3.5 weeks in France)...

What a fab holiday! I love Belgium :-) Next time you go you'll have to go to Pierre Marcolini, the best chocolate shop EVER! Hope Gruik Gruik and Leon didn't get too sandy on the beach.
Looks like a great trip! What a pity the weather was so bad on Friday as Bruges is meant to be lovely!
