Saturday in Brussels
Hello again everyone
Right! now about today.
After a nice leisurely breakfast we asked the advice of our friendly reception man for some good places to visit. He circled a lot of areas on the map along with many suggestions, so we had a think & made our decision & hot footed it to the Metro.
We spent most of the day at a visitors attraction called "Mini-Europe" - which is a model village that incorporates all the landmarks of the European Union countries.
We spent about 5 hours there & - wait for it ladies - remember when I went to Portmeirion I took over 100 photos? Today I took - or had left after deleting a couple of dodgy ones - 224 photos. That is going to be some scrapbook isn't it? The weather today was absolutely beautiful & hot - about 28 degrees. The work in some of those model buildings was absolutely fantastic - for example the cathedral in Pisa was made from marble blocks because the actual building was made from it. At the point I went to take the photo of the leaning Tower of Pisa a young Japanese guy went over & pretended to stop it falling over - so I included that in my shot.
I am going to try & insert a couple of photos for you - if it doesn't work you will have to wait until I get home. So Verena could you sit & watch a slide show of 224 photos. verena is a member of CSNW & said she would have watch a slideshow of my 100+ Portmeirion photos.
Let's see what happens;
I think you will know where both of these are.
Tomorrow is forecast to be wet - so it's indoor visiting. We are going to one or possibly two museums. It depends how long it takes us to look around.
Not sure I will blog tomorrow as we do hit a few problems - but you never know.
Have a great weekend whatever you are doing.
