Brussels, Belgium and not a bun or a sprout in sight!

So yet another early morning to get to somewhere I'm not sure that I want to go to! I HATE getting up in the middle of the night. It takes at least four hours before I am not grouchy and just hoep that when I get there it's all worth it. I neednt have worried, I had a great time. We travelled over there with our friends and colleagues from work, spent most of the morning up until lunch with them and then went out own ways.




We bumped into the procession that celebrates the mannequin pis and they were changing his outfit to the Santa Cluas outfit. It was loud, colourful and great fun!

Bought chocolates and loads of beer then went back to our hotel - a lovely five star hotel. Totally loved it there.

It's a bit of a grubby place with loads of graffiti and no HSE at all but I liked it and had a wonderful weekend away.

The other point worth mentioning is the refurb of St Pancras. It looks wonderful and although its now a pain to have to go from Waterloo to St Pancras the speed of the train almost makes up for it. We reached Belgium in just under two hours!
