Thursday, February 6 - this morning we visited Beat the Bomb, an Paint Blast Escape Room. You have to solve games and puzzels to defuse a paint bomb. You have to complete different rooms and collect time credits for the "bombastic" final. Basically it was quite funny, but for my taste some things were a bit too technical and I needed to much time to understand, what I have to do. In the dark rooms you get a bit of a strange feeling also. But this is my personal feeling and opinion. The protective suit was completely destroyed at the latest after crawling under, between and above the laser beams, but thank god you get an additional protection at the end before the bomb goes off. It's a good concept, but maybe mor for hardcore Escape Room lovers.
After that we were walking to the DUMBO neighbourhood to take some pictures at the famous street where you can see the Manhattan bridge between brick houses. For delicious food we went to the Time Out Market afterwards. Partly quite expensive because you just can't make up your mind and eat way too much, but it's a great concept. After this culinary boost we walked to the Brookyn Bridge, which we crossed in direction to Manhattan. Always an experience! Afterwards the other girls went to the 9/11 Memorial Museum, but as I have been there already during another NYC visit, I was just walking around in the neighbourhood and went a little shopping, as there is also a Westfield shopping mall in the Oculus World Trade Center.
I spent the evening with the girls in the BXL Café on Times Square with Belgian beer and food. A nice evening and a culinary view of what to expect in Belgium.
