Belgium Day 4


Today started off with a trip to Waterloo and the Memorial 1816, a fascinating and engaging museum about the Battle of Waterloo. Students learnt about the history of the battle, as well as heard testimonies and saw uniforms from the era. Then students climbed the 226 steps up to the top of the Lion's Mount, which commemorates the battle, to see the view of the battlefields upon which the battle was fought. Spectacular views on all sides. 

After the museum was Walibi Belgium, where there were rides, roller coasters and other fun activities. Students enjoyed themselves immensely in the park. 

Our last dinner in the hotel was a good one; the food was delicious and the students did really well with cleaning up after themselves. After dinner surprisingly few students watched the England vs Belgium, instead they played ball games and on the playground with each other.
