Brussels; Friday, 18 June, 2004

Leaving London in glorious sunshine (well it was dry and only slightly grey) it was a little depressing to arrive in Brussels in what appeared to be a monsoon.

Still, it was only 10 yards from the station to the hotel so I only got soaked rather than drowned.

My original plan had been to pop into the centre of town briefly after checking in but instead popped to the bar to warm up and to sample what Belgium is famous for... Beer.
