Now I know the Metro is not very exciting, but it certainly is an efficient way to move people around. Now I've got used to it again I like the idea of jumping on the train to where I want to go. Our nearest stop is about 50 metres away from this apartment, but it is on a minor route and you have to change just up the road, so we walk to the next stop, about 500 metres away. I have to look closely at the money to see what it is, they have 1 cent coins which look just like our old 1 cent coins, so that's not a problem, but the euro coins are more of a challenge.
Today I went into town and did some training on the Delegation's new website, and got an early mark for being a quick learner - fancy that at this ancient age! The training venue was right near the Grand Place so I rambled around there for an hour at lunchtime admiring the chocolate vendors, the Mannekin Pis souvenirs and the St Nicholas decorations and pastries (view of Grand Place).
Tomorrow we're intending to go to the Atomium, the Royal Palace, etc, but we'll see how we feel - we've got lots of time! It's cold here but mainly blue skies, no rain so far.

Needless to say, I'm missing dragon boating, but at least getting plenty of exercise and fresh air.
Love to all, Jan
