Day 14 / 15 - the long haul back to Brussels and Wilmslow

---

We always knew it would be a long day travelling - starting at 11.15 from Vienna and arriving at 21.37 in Brussels ?. There’s not much to say really - nice countryside, comfy trains, changed in Frankfurt - bit of a surprise there though, and I suppose it had to happen - ENGINEERING WORKS! Yes indeed, the train through to Belgium was diverted, so instead of arriving in Brussels in time for a couple of beers and walk in town, we were now destined to arrive in Brussels at 23.03 ????? and even then it was late!



Ah well, thank goodness it was at the end of the trip rather than the beginning, and that we still had a hotel, with a bar, to sleep in. A beer and box of fried chicken and chips later and the day’s travels were a distant memory.



Tomorrow we’re on the 8-52 from Brussels to London then the 11.16 from Euston back home - I hope it will be uneventful !



Reflections on the trip to follow.........
