What drama!
But hey, you got a yummy free day in your sweet Brussels, a proper chocolate pressie for Linda's birthday, and 4 new countries to add to your 100. Great visit to the Balkans, with history galore, beautiful sites and a visit with your old friend Mike. Best wishes on getting goodies from the airlines!
