Brussels to Rotterdam

There are massive signs at Brussels Midi Station and someone seems to know my route

More Brussels

We took Owen to see Mannekin-Pis, he was dressed up yesterday, today he was naked. (The statue that is, not Owen)

Brussels

First day of the trip and I have acted like a proper tourist; walked for miles, ticked off every historic landmark and took far too many photos.  I also stood for hours in the cold to welcome Owen into The Grand Place after he cycled 395 miles from London via Amsterdam, and raise £3000 for Help for Heros. An amazing achievement! Other friends and family waited with champagne, we had a can of coke and a banana for him. Oh.. and a beautiful 'well done' banner that my goddaughter had made.

Grand-Place, Town Hall, St Michael and St. Gudula Cathedral, Galeries Saint Hubert, Mont des Arts, Place Royal...
