Day 01 - ICE Train: I loved the trip on the ICE train. At one stage we were zooming through a tunnel at 300km/hr and it didn't seem like it at all. And best of all... there wasn't too much movement so I was able to work on the site along the way. I arrived at the Brussels Midi station and caught a taxi to the guesthouse. The Downtown BXL guesthouse is located in a street full of bars, cafes and odd shops. I say odd because I have never seen a shop selling just circus equipment. The square outside my window has street performers working their art every night for the people sitting at the cafe tables. I didn't do too much on the first day because I was lacking sleep and my throat was still pretty sore. Oh... and it must have been about 40 degrees outside... it was HOT! People were walking about shirtless and drowning their heads under water taps. Day
02 - Lost in Belgium: I will
be the first to admit I know nothing about Brussels... and after day
2 I wont know much more. I have used the 2 days to relax and
chill out in what looks like quite a beautiful city. I started
the day by going in to see a doctor at the hospital because I thought my
throat wasn't getting any better. I went into the waiting room and
took a ticket and waited. Eventually after an hour I got called to
the counter. When I asked to see a doctor I was told that I was in a
social security agency. They were pretty nice about it.
Anyway, my throat is not too bad now so maybe it is getting better at
last.
