Day 1 - Arrived by train from Amsterdam around 2.00pm, walked around a little, before finding a Hotel for the night, pretty cold here. Ventured out for a walk around after dinner & stumbled, once again, onto festivities in full swing. The light show set to opera & rock classics was very cool, got some video for Steve, he likes thqt kind of thing ;-)
I've organised a personal city tour with a guy I met at the first Marillion show, that I've been in touch with since, sharing photos etc.
Day 2 - Kris picked me up from my hotel around 10.30 & we headed out of city into the countryside around Brussels. First stopm the site of Napoleons final battle, thats right..... "my my # # at Waterloo Napoleon did surrender, Oh Yeah # #...." ok enough of that.... but yep, thats where I was today, I felt so dumb, didn't even know it was in Belgium.
Anyway, amazing place, so much history my head hurts, 23,000 British troops with 44,000 allied troops and 160 guns against 74,000 French troops and 250 guns & yet the short dude still lost !
Kris then took me driving around Brussls taking heaps of photos & giving me a bit of history & the purpose for each building we visited. The Atomium was definatly a hightlight, had a really strange feeling of de sha vou here..... Kris was an excellent guide & of course the car stereo played Marillion all day :-)
Day 3 - Slow to rise this morning, decided last night to head to London today, so.... pack is packed again & off I go....
