Leuven and on to the Isle of Man

---

We’ve said good-bye to our lovely little Renault and the Continent. Our last night was spent in Leuven (no rooms in Brussels due to European day of action by unions against austerity measures) which is an old and vibrant university town, also famous for brewing Stella Artois, and where our Belgian friends live (see pic 1). We had a very nice dinner with them (salmon for me, scallops for A, frites for us both!) then headed off to the Brussels airport in the morning, bound for Isle of Man. It’s great to be here with my brother and his family - very relaxed. The Isle of Man is beautiful (see pic 2) and very interesting...
