[@margaretbarclay-laughton2086]

Lovely architecture you are like the little brother who grabs your hand to drag you with him to explore new places talking excitedly in his enthusiasm 😊

[@genny-genevievemarsh]

Cheap ticket,eclectic hotel, waffles, Tintin and snowy, great architecture, mannequin Pis and Mr Carrington showing us around, what more could you want for on a Sunday morning. Even a sweet little cat . ❤

[@mrsmiggins6435]

Thank you for taking us along with you🤗

[@missmakoti9702]

Hi, Belgian here. Nice to see your trip to Brussels, always fun to see your country throughsomebody else´s eyes. Your translation of the Flemish/ Dutch caféname 'de goede oude tijd´ was correct, it does mean ´the good old time´.

[@lynnetteross995]

Great fun travelling with you to Belgium, and the wander around the city. Thank you.

[@joane5777]

What a great apartment on such an economical budget Mr. C!! Loved that you were able to do a little bit of everything while you were in Brussels~ Thanks for taking us along❣❣❣ Joan

[@MaxinePayne-vb9bf]

Lovely Sunday morning for me, tea and toast in bed watching Mr Carrington x

[@janettesinclair6279]

Thank you for that wonderful trip. I had forgotten how glorious the Grand Place is - years ago I visited when there was a massive patterned carpet of fresh flowers filling the whole square. So beautiful. Worth checking if this is still done and making a special trip. Love your hotel, quirky room, and so central for the city and eating out. Lots of fun statues and art installations.

[@NancyCoster]

What a cosy video. I have been to Brussels many years ago but thanks to your video I am thinking of visiting again. It is not that far away (I'm from The Netherlands) so would be such a good idea. I loved your hotel room by the way, what a great find!

[@daleduerden1185]

These trips are really great ,you can do so much in a short stay ❤

[@debrahart1090]

Oh Mr Carrington. I loved your travel vlog. My late father used t work on the railway. He passed away when I was 7 in 1969. I knew about París but I didn't realise you could go by train to brussels. This was fab next time hubby and I are on london. We hope to do that trip. We always stay with family in North London. Kings cross is so close on the piccadilly line for us to travel from. Look forward to watching all your vĺogs. Big hugs Debra in Mallorcaxxx ❤

[@Lesley-g1u]

Thank you Iwan for the guided tour, also loved all the cat related things you could buy. Lesley, Victoria, BC. Canada.

[@danicacharles4221]

Great start to my Sunday whisked away to Brussels looks amazing. Thank you as always for sharing. 😊

[@helenalexander2567]

Thank you Mr C for taking us along x I love your travel vlogs x Please can someone commission a series for you ? You could invite Luke, Dainty and Kate along x

[@annefanning8193]

So nostalgic atching this. My husband God rest his soul and I visited Brussels as guests of the Irish MEP and visited almost all of the placws you have shown. Thank you so much for enabling me to recall happy memories.

[@jeroen2500]

I love this vlog. I love all your vlogs, because you're basically ASMR without being ASMR, your voice is amazing 😼 Anyway, love that you made it to Belgium. When you come back, do make your way up to Ghent, that will be 24 hours you will not regret, I promise!! ❤

[@johnwhitlock7469]

Best video this morning. You're fortunate to be close to other European cities. Absolutely in tune with the kind of travel and accomodations you like. Thanks for really showing all the nooks and crannies.

[@Kari_B61ex]

Morning Mr C. WOW! The hotel room looks fabulous - thanks for taking us along.

[@sarahfilbey275]

I think you are striking the right balance in regards to mid range priced short breaks. Thank you for bringing us along!

[@susanmoss1175]

Absolutely loved going on a trip to Belgium with you. Can't wait for your next adventure x

[@lovelyskull3483]

Fantastic video. Gorgeous room. I would love to see you in Dublin, Ireland.

[@hilarycartlidge6135]

Gorgeous, everywhere... not what I thought of Brussels at all... the hotel, so-o-o stylish, the views at night of the different restaurants, bistros, shops, pubs - street places, theatre and cinema, and especially the tiny pub - what a find... I can't LIST everything I loved, what a brilliant vlog. Actually came on just to praise your camera-eye late in the vlog, taking time out filming the rain on the tawny old stone flagged pavements. Oh, those wet stones! Beautiful. 😍 ....more, please... Wd translate to tv, all you producers out there...

[@CaroleBeevor]

Thank you for that wonderful trip to Brussels. Well done Mr. C. 😊

[@marion370]

Never knew you could get to Brussels so economically,Mmm,that's on my bucket list, Thank you for taking us along, fabulous place.❤👍🏻

[@susanhall3438]

Loved this vlog Iwan, very informative. My hubby has been once and loved it and after watching your vlog, I have decided we are going here in September for our joint 65th birthdays. The apartment looked stunning, I know we would love it there. I'm very excited now. Thank you. Best wishes Susan. Xx

[@tomvalveede6808]

Hi Iwan! What a wonderful vlog on a 24 hour trip to Brussels!! You are really good at Not giving in to temptation! I couldn't pass the Chocolate shop without a sample or two! I felt as if l was there with you, you are so talented at presenting! Don't l wish. Very beautiful hotel room. And it wasn't expensive! I'm glad you found out, before hand, that you needed to bring your own soap, shampoo, and shaving cream. Clever use of a contact lens holder! It's something that I would not have thought of! I loved all of the art work in your room and over at the kitchen. You were so Happy and having a good time! Your Cheerfulness is so wonderful to see! Hope you arrived safely and that you'll have a great week! Your friend in Kansas City, Tom! 😃🇺🇸♥️🇬🇧🌈🍀🌷♥️🎉🎉🎉 Happy you came across the stray cat! Reminded me of Pumpkin and Mittens!

[@robertahenry1957]

It's amazing how much u can do and see in a short time. Thank you. Fantastically done!!😊 Looks a beautiful place.

[@carolinedodsworth6481]

I been to Belgium I love it long time ago.

[@joyswindells4989]

What a fantastic 24 hours,thank you for taking us to Brussels

[@boxoffrogs9712]

Now, if KZbin also had a virtual food sampler, then this trip, with you, would have been perfect! Still, I suppose that I do have a home baked rhubarb, cherry and orange rock bun to look forward to... really enjoyed your trip, thank you for taking us all with you.

[@kelseychurcher3458]

Would love to see more vids like this - on a budget and more spenny lol. I really enjoy watching these types of vlogs, exploring new places. It is one of my fave things to do. Keep up the great work, and look forward to the next one!

[@pearlmorgan777morgan6]

What a lovely place 😊

[@tralee49]

Really enjoyed this vlog, the room you stayed in was so charming and in such a great location too. (Ie. and … next to a chocolate shop 😜)

[@vivsalittlebitcrafty4854]

That was such a lovely trip. Never been to Brussels, it looks fascinating. Great architecture, really love the old buildings. Food looks so good😋 How on earth did you manage to avoid the chocolate shops?🤔😇 I used to travel quite a lot, then illness came and now I'm disabled and mostly in a chair, though I can still walk I can't walk far. I have noticed how very difficult it is to get around many places, it's not something I ever gave any thought too...I don't think any of us do tbh while we're able bodied...but so many places are out of bounds now, steps, many shops, buildings of interest, transport etc. This is why I really enjoy your holiday videos Mr.C😚I had so many countries I was going to explore and thinking I had plenty of time to fit them all in, until the SHTF and what-have-you. Thanks for taking us all with you, it was smashing☺

[@Raquel_Tejera]

Hello! I loved the place you stayed in. Very well themed, but a little bit to dark to live there. Loved the cat cushion covers, and you managed to make a cat friend. Never been to Belgium, and now I think it would be a great scape destination, although not travel by train, its around 9 hours from Barcelona! Thank you for taking us with you, you are a great guide. ❤

[@matthall143]

Really enjoyed this and found it very useful....in my opinion, this was just the right balance of travel, where to stay budget-wise for the kind of trip most viewers are looking for

[@TC-rf3tu]

Great tour Mr. C.! I always love your travel vlogs, whether in UK or abroad, and perfect content and pace.

[@marilyneaves7044]

Thank you for taking us to see Brussels with you Mr C, really enjoyed seeing the sights and loved your apartment, all the shops and bars look amazing. Love watching all of your videos and the break aways are great, keep up the good work xxx

[@nursepippa8847]

This was my favorite getaway you've taken yet. Makes me want to go there!

[@suzanneharper4877]

Thanks for taking us to Brussels.. I was looking for day trip ideas.. The room was amazing, especially the bath!. 😊❤

[@dollyseenauth435]

Omg. You are the best . Thanks a million for taking me with you to Brussels Belgium. Lovely Architectural Buildings. Awesome shops, restaurants and sight seeing. Great fun travelling 🧳 with you mrcarrington. Your information was on Point. Thank you for the magnificent trip. Your mini vacation.

[@janiceburgess5906]

I love your travel vlogs, and you were so excited when you first went into the apartment. What a fantastic 24 hours it will definitely encourage me to visit Belgium again. I haven’t been there for 20 + years.

[@nataliesmith303]

What a fab trip. Those waffles looked so yummy! Such a cute cat too 😊

[@sandraholland5663]

Hi Mr Carrington. Absolutely love all your videos especially your travel videos. Brussels looks a beautiful place. I’ve never been but definitely would love to go after seeing this. Thank you for sharing with us. Your videos make me smile ❤

[@lilly6766]

Loved it! Please! If you go another time, show the hergé museum. ❤❤❤

[@HeavenCurtis-cn4oy]

Wow a beautiful city and trip. I used to live in Germany and downtown was gorgeous. Thank you for the beautiful trip. Loved the video 💖

[@sheilahenderson5973]

What a great travel vlog. Thank you so much. I said this on your last travel vlog....why has no one signed you up for your own travel show on TV 👏👏👏

[@gaynorscott2111]

I love the little tune in your vlogs , it reminds me of educating rita 😊

[@rebeccarendle3706]

Lovely travel vlog🙂. I love that you always use the same relaxing music in your vlogs when you aren't speaking.. it has become part of your "label".. and is so relaxing 😊. Typical April weather☀️☔️🌦🌬

[@rumdo5617]

Gorgeous - thanks for taking us along Diva 😅

[@anneclewlow3469]

Love your videos Mr C. I am rewatching the Sort your life out to keep me motivated. Too good to go bags are available in Brussels for budget on the go meals. Great for trains.

[@megangilchrist4203]

Loved that !! and you even found time to say hello to a Belgium cat friend 😸

[@cherylmartin9994]

Happy Sunday Mr C! What a lovely trip to Brussels😃Home of Les Schtroumpfs and Tintin, Milou and company! The room looked fab and so well situated for sightseeing and shopping. Thank you for taking us along with you! ☺️

[@angelacox-martin2789]

Love your city break videos :) I think a mid-range hotel/accomodation is the one that interests me most as I normally travel as a young family of four so we look for a good price but also want quality/safety x

[@YvonneMaughan]

What a fantastic 24 hours Mr.C , how lovely is Brussels and hotel looked amazing , loved the waffle looked yummy xx❤

[@d.d.mac.3773]

Belgium was on my wishlist of places to visit, thanks for the Brussels tour. The food, architecture and your room looked wonderful.

[@anpj2006]

Great trip, one I want to do with my husband in the next year. Lots of ideas I’ll take on board. Thanks Mr C !

[@georgieboy1958]

Thanks for that tour I’m housebound so this is a way for me to relax thanks again

[@traceybradshaw]

My son and his GF are heading to the UK and Europe in August for 6 weeks and currently planning the more detailed aspects. Your travel vids are proving to be quite helpful and we will add this one to the list.

[@user-oj5bw7sl8p]

Wow, - that room in the Brussel hotel is so special! Has that proper European feeling to it.

[@soarinpanda8walker563]

Visited Brussels 12 years ago ,brought back memories as you visited the Grand place ,and Mannequin Pis .We stayed a few days did some bus tours to Bruge and Ghent then went on to Amsterdam.TFS

[@janetstraw191]

Thank you! I visited Brussels years ago - and it looked even more grand than I remembered. I adored the shops!! 🙋‍♀️🇺🇸🥰

[@farrah7748]

Another amazing travel vlog! The area your hotel was in reminded me of the Galleria with the long LED screen on the MSC ship you were on in Jan 😊

[@shirleymclean5895]

One of your best yet! Fantastic, everything in one place!How amazing was that little hotel!

[@lully381]

Thank you for this weeks Vloggy, never seen Brussels before and what a lovely place! so many interesting things to see and do, perfect for a city break for one or two days or as you have done an overnight stay. Like the idea of traveling by train too! The food looked lovely. And, that hotel room lovely place that was as well, so different. Brilliant Vlog, enjoyed it a lot x

[@lynseypeters]

I went to Brussels a couple of years ago for work, was only there for 2 nights (1 full day) so only got a quick visit round the square after work when we were taken out for dinner. As my colleague was from Brussels, she was able to tell us the history of some of the buildings/statues. It was also Jan so was very wet. Would love to visit for longer in better weather. Hotel was beautiful. Great find.

[@audreysutherland4739]

Fabulous vlog. Thanks for taking us along. I thoroughly enjoyed that as I’ve never been to Brussels. Would definitely consider it now x

[@Benandmycat]

Absolutely love Brussels, loving the entrance to the hotel in the old arcade !

[@Ninja0814]

I visited Brussels when I was a teenager in 1972. Glad to see that the Mannekin Pis is still greeting tourists and sporting some classy outfits. 😂

[@christinawilliams6078]

some real beautiful architecture, i could never go there only because the chocolate shops are to convenient, love to kitties xx

[@redgamer2915]

Such a great video. I have never been to Brussels , but have now added it to our ever growing list of places to visit. The b&b was just lovely. It was the sort of place that we would look at booking … a ‘middle of the road’ type of accommodation. Would love to see more of these types of places to stay. Thanks so much for these great tips.

[@carolbarnes7825]

Love watching your travel blogs so interesting and good prices . Please do more of these so useful x

[@carolynstewart9103]

Oh wow.amazing place .thoroughly enjoyed this video...thankyou 🤩 appreciate your presentation..shops were amazing especially all the sweet treats...🥰

[@ferganwalker]

Brussels looked a wonderful place to visit. So much interesting things to see and do. Your accommodation was so funky. x

[@Cindy7777777]

OMG, what a beautiful place!!! And the room was fabulous, to say the least!!! I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee that claw foot tub!!!! Those old buildings are stunning!!! So much fun Mr. C.. Thanks so much for taking us along!

[@philipo5259]

That was a clatty 'water fountain' in Pret! I bet you were wishing you had packed half a lemon and some bicarb! My Top Tip is if you book the quiet zone on a train - go check the other carriages as everyone books the quiet carriage and it ends up being packed and noisy... 🤪

[@jmcaulay577]

Please please go to Italy and stay in a vineyard. It's my dream and I'm just wondering if it's worth dreaming about. I also thought of doing a trip to Italy to a cooking school what fun that would be.

[@elaineroberts7493]

A most enjoyable, if brief, tour of Brussels - but the best attraction was obviously the friendly kitty!!

[@cketts8128]

Oh, that was a lot of fun Mr C 👌🏻👏🏼😃. I have visited Belgium as a teenager….can just about remember 😜. I’ll watch any travel vlog you do to be honest! I’ve said before but I’ve watched you for years and you are one of the few I never, ever get tired of watching. Just keep doing what you do! 🧡💚🇬🇧

[@beverleyholt134]

I just love this, so atmospheric, the architecture and decor, the rain on the pavements.... Such a feel good vlog , thank you for sharing Iwan, magical...❤

[@jillbaker988]

Hi Mr C - not usually a fan of travel vlogs, but I really enjoyed this 😊 Brussels looks really good for a city break and it was so nice to see inside that fantastic church. Food looked amazing 🤩 how do you stay so slim with what you eat - lol 😂 great vlog, thank you!

[@WilkoAli]

This is brilliant. My wife and I are going on a European tour on the train for our honeymoon. Brussels is the first stop on it. Thanks for this, very helpful

Oh my goodness what a fantastic trip to Brussels❤️ Thank you for taking us along with you❤

[@eileenaddison2400]

Great video. Immediately had me wanting to book a quick trip to Brussels. Then I remembered I live in Australia. So jealous that you’re so close to Europe to make these trips possible

[@melissavanderweijden6079]

Loved your trip to Brussels. Giving me ideas to go 😘

[@jeanmurgatroyd3221]

Been to Brussels several times. Yes the square is magnificent. Thanks for the travelogue it’s a shame they don’t have the holiday programme today , you would be a brilliant presenter.

[@VictoriaPichel]

what a fab idea, using contact lenses containers for creamy products! Absolutely brilliant. Will definitely implement that. And Brussels! swoon. What a beautiful city! I enjoyed your excitement with the room, ha! Cute. It was an amazing room, though. It's actually Grand-Place, as in /plas/ not /pleis/, meaning 'Big Square' or 'Plaza Mayor' in Spanish cities.

[@heartbeatoz]

Absolutely loved your quick Trip Thanks for sharing.

[@AmandaStone-wk3uv]

What a great little trip. I loved the accommodation; interesting location and the decor felt homey. I worried about the noise and lights disturbing your sleep and was happy to hear it wasn't bad. The yummy waffle was the perfect way to finish off the trip!

[@ruthlee7949]

Loved this Mr Carrington x

[@carolwyatt9643]

Thoroughly enjoyed the mini trip. Thanks for taking us.

[@sevensilverpetals1601]

This was such fun! Thank you for all of the info, and the air bnb was perfect, Mr. C; at such a good price point too! We'll definitely look into a Brussels trip next time we're at home in London Xxx :)

[@raymondf3670]

I've been to Belgium 🇧🇪 and I loved it.. me and my friends spended a time in a chocolate shop .. it is an amazing city.

[@stephluvsdave]

I used to live in Mons, Belgium and we'd go to Brussels a lot. We'd sometimes drive but mostly we'd take the train. This was just a lovely vlog and I thank you for sharing. It was so nice going down memory lane. I literally crave those waffles!!! ❤❤

[@irislozinsky3960]

Visiting Brussels early June ! Very excited after watching your vlog! Beautiful insight !
