Today I went for my usual walk around the local area. I choose a different route each time, and never know where I'm going to end up. Two and a half hours later I was still walking, and couldn't tell where I was. I knew that I could catch a tram or a metro to get home, so wasn't totally bereft. Nevertheless, when I saw the familiar rooftops and statues of Cinquantenaire, I was vastly relieved. I was way to the south of it, but by walking through the park I was only a half hour from home. I had seen a lot of interesting streets, markets, churches, and European Union buildings. Alek was a little surprised to see me after all this time. When I started walking it was snowing, but it soon cleared, there's not much evidence of the snowfalls apart from a few cars which have deposits on their windscreens.
We went for another walk later on, but with my own personal GPS (Alek) we managed not to get lost.
Daniel and Laura are due in Brussels tonight. They were to arrive this morning, but went to the airport in Riga and found their flight had been cancelled with no explanation. They are now coming via Copenhagen and will arrive after 10.00, so we have cancelled the planned dinner together. We're looking forward to seeing them again.
This week we plan to visit Brugges and Ghent - and then it will be Christmas!
