It was a long trip from Australia, via Abu Dhabi (see feature from Abu Dhabi airport) but we finally made it to Brussels, on Friday 11/11/11.
The first afternoon we walked the area, everything was closed as it was a public holiday for Remembrance Day. The next day I was terribly sick, so we didn't do a thing.
However, today (Sunday) we really made up for it as we walked for miles, to Cinquentenaire, and then on to the Grand Place, and then on an impulse, to Gare Centrale to catch a train to Waterloo, where we used to live. We walked from the station to our old house, took some photos, and called in on our neighbours, who weren't home, and then walked back to the station.
I'll add some more photos to Facebook.
Tomorrow is work, but we also spent some time today locating the places I'll need to go during the week. It's like a dream returning to the old haunts. More tomorrow ....
