We had a fine breakfast at this hotel. We're staying in the Hotel Albert. Right after, we walked down to the North Station and took the Metro to Central Station. There were competing companies offering city tours. We got on the upper, open deck of a bus. It had audio commentary through headphones. We just had to select English from a list of many. The tour was designed with 10 stops where you could hop off. We didn't and were on the bus for more than an hour and a half.
We ate lunch down near the area in yesterday's photo. I'm still full. We spent the afternoon sightseeing.
Belgium is an interesting place. Around 40% of the population speak French and a larger number Dutch. As we are staying in the north quarter, we also hear a lot of Arabic and Turkish on the street. The country considers itself the capital of Europe. Except for its chocolate, lace, waffles, and beer, I think knowledge of Belgium is a bit low key.
