Auto World and the journey home

We visited Auto World today and saw some great cars, motorbikes and motoring history.  There wasn't time for much else other than getting back to the railway station to get the train home.  A fun weekend!

Exploring Brussels - Church, Parade, Food, Beer

We had a very full day today starting with an Assembly at Fishmarket followed by the Schuman museum and the European Commission.

Then we saw a Beer Parade and went to a fun place called El Greco for lunch.  After lunch we visited the Horta Museum and then spent some time at the Beer Festival in the main square in Brussels.



We had a drink at "La Morte Subite" then enjoyed a rather good but rather expensive dinner at Scheltema.

A trip to Brussels for a beer festival

We left home around 7.30am this morning to get a train to London to get the Eurostar to Brussels.  We were off on a trip to a "Beligan Beer Weekend" with Gordon's staff social group, HASSRA.

We arrived in Brussels around 2pm and got a coach to our Hotel, the Sheraton on Place Charles Rogier.

After a short rest we went and explored the Comic Strip Museum and then found a bar for a quick drink.

Next we went and found the beer festival and had to buy some tokens for beer as well as for glasses. This was quite a queue but we then got to enter the enclosure on the Grand Place and sampled a few nice Belgian beers.  The portions were small as the alcohol content is high!

We had a pleasant dinner at a restaurant right on the Grand Place called L'Estaminet du Kelderke.
