Wandering in Brussels

---

Bonjour mes amies, arrived in Brussels after a brief train ride from Amsterdam through the countryside - the tulip fields are looking very green and keen for Spring to come along; only two windmills spotted yet a million bikes in Amsterdam!

Brussels is just picturesque, though the cobble stones are a killer on the feet! Not as many bikes as Amsterdam, though there are chocolate shops on every corner :-) Nick actually ran into a Treasury colleague in one!

Great to get stuck into the French food and language - we have had to speak French quite often as many don´t get Nick´s aussie slang...! It´s lucky we are walking everywhere because the food is divine and there is cheese in every meal. Last but not least the beer!!! Heading off to the beer museum now so I suppose we´ll have to taste a few....more.

This is one side of the main square in the old part of Brussels. We had a drink or two in the flash cafe in the middle
