Brussels - July 26th

Well folks, another hot and beautiful day. After lounging around until the apartment got too hot, we took off for the Botanical gardens. Nothing to write home about.

So we went to the Music Museum. Wow, what a place. They have some awesome antique instruments in there and a lot of beautiful music in the headsets. We stayed until they closed at 5.

Went to the Hello Summer festival again and got an Italian Ice.
Then we found a place to eat. Food was ok.
Taking the train to Dinant tomorrow. Place was recommended by the train conductor.

Have to add a development. The night of the 26th there was a parade of folks on bicycles and in a couple of pickup trucks with DJs and loud music that came down the street that we face. This was about 10:45 pm. The police were with them and it lasted about 15 minutes. There must have been a couple hundred bicycles. It was fun to watch from our 4th floor balcony right above them.

And that was after getting to watch some folks “fixing the worlds problems” on the street at the small gathering hole directly below us. The “fixes” became louder with each ensuing beverage. They ended the discussion just before the parade came through.

The adventures never end...

  1. The good old days when we could fix all the problems of the world with the help of a few pints.
