After a late breakfast at Toison D’Or. We came back to our apartment, grabbed some gear and then took a taxi down to the battlefields of Waterloo. There are four things to do there. <\/p>\n

The first is to walk up The Lion’s Mound which is a large conical artificial hill erected on the battlefield of Waterloo to commemorate the location where William II of the Netherlands (the Prince of Orange) was knocked from his horse by a musket ball to the shoulder during the battle.<\/p>\n

\nThe second was to do a tour of the battlefield in an open bus. The third was to look at a small wax display of the main characters of the conflict. The final thing to do was to watch a couple of movies which depict what happened on the fateful day in June 1815.<\/p>\n

I had heard a lot about the battle of Waterloo from my brother, Nick, and it was good to see the area in real life.<\/p>\n

After finishing looking st at battlefield and associated museums we caught the bus back to Brussels Midi where we had dinner and caught a taxi back to our apartment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
