The Next Day in Leuven


The next day after a beautiful breakfast at the B&B we set out to explore Leuven. This is a city of students, there are at

least 18 areas for the university. Many are colleges, living establishments, and other learning buildings. The area we came into Leuven was called Campus Arenberg. This is where world famous nanotechnology is being designed.
The old Burgundian university town of Leuven is not far from Brussels and the national airport. Few towns in Flanders appeal tot he imagination than this have for students, where history, culture, architecture, gastronomy and modern science are intermingled to form a compelling cocktail. From its gastronomic tours de force to the dazzling Gothic Town Hall, from a delicious Leuven Pint(home of Stella Artois darling) and the student atmosphere of the Old Market Square to the demure magnificence of Sint-Pieterskerk, Leuven has it all-and more. (Good prose eh!! Straight from the brochure.)

We found Jemima Puddleduck by the lake by the Abdij van Park on our first forey out on the Wednesday morning.
