Bonjour from Brussels

Bonjour!

I am in an internet shop in Brussels using a European keyboard-please forgive if some characters are wrong.

Wandering around Brussels-had some beer, chocolate is next-across the street. So far I have been on 2 very hot subways-London Underground and Brussels Metro. Almost missed the train to Brussels, but no worries. Met a lovely English couple on the train-they are going to Vienna.

Did my own walking tour of Brussels, but need more time— I´ll come back after the Swiss Alps. Now it´s off to chocolate and a nice French dinner.

Next leg is the night train to Bern then to Laussane and Montreux tomorrow night.

I am 7 hours ahead of you. It is now 5:50 pm here, but feels like 11 am and with very little sleep.

Happy Birthday Daniela! See you next week in Lyon.


Go Lance!
