We slept a bit under puffy duvets and decided to hit the street!
The Grand Place is steps from the hotel. An awe inspiring square.

We went across town to see a large car museum, Autoworld, which is the collection of one man in the most beautiful 19th century glass and metal building. The cars were unique European vehicles that we’ve never seen before.



Flanking Autoworld are a few museums and Brussels’ Arch de Triomphe and gorgeous parks.

We watched a cricket game, saw rows of espaliered trees ringing the parks, and just enjoyed the day. Chazy got in safely, took a nap and joined us for dinner at a little bistro.


Escargot, rabbit, ham knuckle with endive salad and a wonderful pinot noir. Life is good!
We saw these folks order a tasting of 14 beers, when we came out…..all gone!

James And Bethany Dorau, we’re channeling you!
I’m exhausted. Signing off.
