We spent the rest of the day roaming the streets and exploring some of the less traveled areas of town. We went to the Basilica of the Holy Blood, which claims to have drops of Jesus' blood. We walked in as they were putting the canister of "blood" away.
We bought some chocolates and snacked on those before heading out for dinner. We ate overlooking one of the canals. I tried something called Flemish Beef Stew. It was alright. None of the food here has wowed me, but at least it was something different. Both of us avoided ham for at least one meal.
Later on, we walked around at night, which doesn't really begin here until 11 since the sun never seems to set. The temperature also plummets as soon as the sun goes down. It felt like winter. Tomorrow we take multiple trains to get to Amsterdam. It will take us a total of 4 hours, which I'm not excited about, but such is the life of the budget traveler. Hopefully we board the correct ones.
