Walter didn't snore and for a man just traveled over 8 time zones he slept very well, as did I.
His baggage failed to arrive overnight, and enquiries revealed it was on holiday in London for the day, however would be back by this afternoon.
Thus we decided to find our way to a Tourist Info office and do one of the Hop on Hop tours-sounds repetitive doesn't it.
Walked through a very lovely part of Brussels, The Grand Market, with beautiful old buildings, in the sprinkling rain, repetitive isn't it.
The Hop on Hop off proved a bit disappointing as the audio didn't work to start with.
Once sorted looks like a lovely city, lots of old buildings, palaces, fine old churches and some new stuff that looks pretty good, none of which I caught in pixels, raining and the bus windows aren't the best lens.
Decided that the Museum of Military History was appropriate, so hopped off there and spent a couple of hours looking through the military history of Belgium, albeit, trying to translate the French as there were few English subtitles.
When we emerged it was raining and blowing too much to test my umbrella, you will recall the one I bought brand new in Munich that blew a rib on first opening!!
Got our way back to the hotel without any navigation traumas to find that Walter's luggage had returned from its vacation.
Tonight we meet the rest of the group and then hear what the plans are for tomorrow.
I may run out of internet time by then so may publish this early today and bring you up to speed in the next chapter.
