The Peeing Boy Manneken Pis Brussels Belgium

I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE FAMOUS PEEING BOY IN BRUSSELS until I was there and everyone seems to be crowding around to take a picture of this peeing kid.
Aaron managed to take a picture of this Manneken Pis aka The Peeing Boy...
There are a few legends arising from how this statue came about...
I googled about it a moment ago to "quench" my curiosity...
Cos every corner I went, this icon seems to be  here and there...
In front of the waffles shop....
And in the waffle shops....
Must have one for the album with the Peeing Boy!
Oh yes, talking about waffles, one must not leave Brussels without tasting them!
At first we thought it cost only 1euro...
And many to choose from..... the toppings, I mean....
Just look at the salesperson... I didn't realize it until I saw this picture...
At my sitting position, I could only EYE for the toppings!
Yes, the waffle cost 1 euro BUT without the toppings....
We ordered the famous Belgian choc and it comes to around 3 euro.....
After finishing one, we went to another shop.....
We just couldn't get enough....
Choose our toppings again....
Aaron again chose chocolate!!
Hot waffle with lots of chocolate and cream!
This one cost 5 euro if I am not mistaken....
I guess he must be having a hard time choosing what he wants... hahahaaa...
I would too, if I were to choose!
Ok, you eat first, Aaron!
Something triggered off our smiles.....
Not sure what... must be something to do with the waffle!
Yes, just look at the tourists....
There was some kind of a festive procession going on....
And We are so happy to be part of the crowd... 
We and Our Waffles!

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea....  Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise.  So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation.  Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room.  Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax.  How not to resist... LOL...  And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea....  Looks small from afar...  It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance...  Our room for the next three nights....  Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door...  The one with balcony cost a bit more...  A short briefing about safety after we checked in....
