Double Decker

It was grey and cloudy when we got up. We wanted the 'official' tour of the city, so we bought tickets to the tour bus. Just like in other Brussels, we pressed ENGLISH from the nine or so other choices and slipped on the free headsets. I seem to remember college kids had these jobs once upon a time. Now, we've forsaken the fun for efficiency.

The tour was around an hour. We, again, took the 'second story' and shivered although covered in the front section by a roof. The rain continued. As the tickets were valid for 24 hours, we did the same trip in the afternoon. This time I had on a proper sweatshirt and the sun eventually broke out.

It was nice to have a short nap today. We changed hotels from yesterday. That was the very first thing we did in the morning. The room was fine Hotel Zurich but there was a nightclub close and we had a room over the front street. I didn't sleep soundly for the whole night. We have a smaller but quieter room at Hotel Bristol now. Yet, only for tonight.

Tomorrow we will go to Paris. We even bought the tickets ahead. The 12:15 train arrives at around 4:00 there. Hopefully, after we get all settled, I'll find a place to upload the missing photos and these words.
