@ Fifi Flowers & Mandi: It certainly was pretty impressive. I've wanted to see it for years and I'm really pleased I managed to at last!
@ Shadowfalcon: It only takes 1 hr 50 mins on the Eurostar ;-)
@ Palm Tree Fanatic: It's not the most charming European capital by far, but I quite like it - not least because it has more gorgeous Art Nouveau buildings than you can shake a stick at.
I was in Brussels 2.5 years ago as a tourist.
Did you like it?
W.O.W.
