After walking around Amsterdam by ourselves, we returned to the hotel for our included hotel dinner. The entrée was a salmon mixture, which may have had chopped pickle, onion and sour cream/natural yoghurt. The main dish was chicken schnitzel and grilled/roast vegetables like zucchini, capsicum, onion and eggplant (though sadly I didn’t get any eggplant). Dessert was just ice cream with chocolate sauce and an Argentinean cherry (also known as a gooseberry), which was yellow and had three leaves on the stem.

We tried a waffle from one of the many waffle stores here in Brussels. I tried strawberry and chocolate, A2 tried raspberry and chocolate with a little bit of cream and dad had a plain chocolate one. They were all €4-5 each. There’s also a waffle store chain which sells the waffles out of vans. [gallery columns="2" type="rectangular" ids="2205,2207,2206,2204"]...

By the time we checked into our hotel in London it was 6 something. A2 just wanted to finish her beef sandwich and eat fruits for dinner, so mum, dad and I went out alone. Mum and dad were going to dine in an Indonesian restaurant, so I got a lamb kebab (₤3.50) from a Lebanese restaurant a few doors down. It turned out that the owner used to live in Hawthorn in Melbourne, so he and mum and dad chatted for a while. After ordering their food...

Before leaving Bath we bought lunch from M&S and I got an extra sandwich (Scottish smoked salmon and butter for ₤3) from Pret, a chain which makes fresh sandwiches, rolls, sushi and coffee. From M&S A2 bought an avocado salad and ranch beef sandwich, I had a chicken breast and mangetout salad with lemon dressing sandwich, mum had a tuna roll and dad got an apple turnover and raisin scroll (mangetout are like sugar snap peas without the peas inside).[gallery order="DESC" link="file" columns="2" ids="2185,2186,2183,2184"]...

For morning tea, we visited Sally Lunn’s teahouse to try her world-famous buns. When we arrived there was a queue, but we only waited for 10 minutes before we were directed to the top floor. Mum and I shared a coffee and walnut, A2 had cinnamon butter and dad had ginger butter. All were around ₤3.50. The nicest was the cinnamon one. There were also savoury buns available. The buns look like burger buns, but taste semi-sweet. [caption id="attachment_2191" align="aligncenter" width="400"] Coffee and Walnut, Cinnamon Butter and Ginger Butter...
