Most people skip itthis wonderful place and that is a mistake. A short train ride from Brussels and a 15-minute walk from the station gets you to the field where Napoleon's run finally ended in June 1815.(FYI- he was very sick the day of the battle and stayed in the tent). Once you enter you get a real surprise, as you enter the circular building I was amazed by a massive 360-degree painting of the battle, completed in 1912 for the centennial. Life-size props blend into the

After visiting all the WWII monument and memorials it was time to see the city. My first stop was the Casemates du Bock are a network of tunnels and galleries carved right into the sandstone cliffs — and I mean into the rock. We're talking 17 kilometers of I kept thinking about all the soldiers who sheltered here, the artillery crews who fired through those narrow openings in the cliff face. It's dark, a little claustrophobic in spots, and completely fascinating. I took the

Bruges: The Egg-Shaped City Bruges is unlike any city I've ever walked. Compact and perfectly preserved, the city is shaped like an egg — easy to navigate on foot and impossible to get truly lost in. Canals wind through the center like liquid mirrors, reflecting spires and gabled rooftops at every turn. Medieval churches seem to appear around every corner, each with its own story to tell. The Heart of Bruges is the Markt Square and Belfry Tower. One of the quirkiest delights

Spent four days in Ghent and a day in Antwerp during my recent Belgium swing — here's the honest lowdown on both. Ghent: give it at least three days Ghent completely won me over. Four days and I still felt like I was scratching the surface. The architecture alone is worth the trip — stunning medieval buildings line the canals and you'll stumble across beautiful cathedrals seemingly around every corner. The famous Belfry (Belfort) tower is an absolute must: climb it, soak in t

My 3rd visit to Bridgetown and wanting to do more than swim with turtles, I booked a fun city and lunch tour with “Adrinan”( adrianwhite70@hotmail.com /246-242-8451) We hit the jackpot. Adrian picked us up right at the port, and we immediately felt we were in good hands. We started with a short drive through the city, stopping and visiting the main monuments and shared fascinating stories about Barbados's rich history. We visited Heroes Square, an important landmark that hon

My wife and I had the most wonderful experience swimming with dolphins in St. Kitts. I'll admit I had some concerns going in about the dolphins being in captivity, but I was genuinely impressed by the facility and how well the animals were cared for. The trainers were incredibly gentle and knowledgeable, and the dolphins themselves seemed happy and engaged—you could tell they were enjoying the interactions as much as we were. We got to feel their smooth skin as they gave us
