We are visiting Brussels to go and see one of the best dinosaur museum I have been too !

some of buildings we saw on the way to the park

It was a great Park

Leo and mum ! it was called Duden Parc ,
I am learning some words in  French , they speak French and Flemish in parts of Belgium !

I had to be careful to make sure Leo held on!

Evie and a Turkish girl !

Leo had to be careful at the top of the slide !

we enjoyed Duden Parc

up the other side

lots of people come to admire the view

this can be very tiring as the grass is deep and you cannot run easily on it , this is better
