Brussels

One and a half days spent in Brussels, following arrival by Eurostar Thursday lunchtime. I had not been to Brussels since i was a child, but to be honest i dont think it will have changed a great deal. Fairly compact it was easy to walk around helped by bright but chilly autumn weather.

Photos can be seen at picasa site. Now i am off to Amsterdam, another place that i have not visited since childhood. Last time i remember at some stage being told by my parents to "just look forward or look at the ground - don't look at the windows!" i wonder what the view will be like now.

Stats:
Hotel - NH du Grand Sablon, comfortable but lacked a bit of character. Well located in Sablon area which seemed to be the antiques area.

Food - found a good french restuarant "L'Estrille"and a Thai "Lotus Bar"

Books - finished "The girl who played with fire" on train to Amsterdam, so that leaves me with one part of the trilogy to go.
