Quiet day in Brussels

We had a bit of a slow start this morning, nothing to do with the alcohol consumed yesterday! After breakfast and showers, we headed out to purchase some Belgian chocolates for the folks back home. We then packed up a box of things we no longer needed or didn’t want to carry around - some clothes, souvenirs, a couple of books, and chocolates, and arranged for the parcel to be posted back to Australia.

We then had a light lunch and a drink at a café recommended by Gui called “A la Mort Subite”, which translates as “to sudden death”. Ian had a local beer called a Hornes Blonde, which he enjoyed very much and I had a rosé which was fine. For lunch we had a croque monsieur and a croque madam, which was ok, but I don’t think people come here for the food - it is all about the beer!

After lunch, we went in search of a Christmas decoration that represents Belgium but had no luck.Meer informatie
