Sunday in Brussels

We had a later start to the day on Sunday. Sophie and Jim picked us up in the late morning and took us to a part of the city that she knows well, it being the area that she has lived in and represented when she was an MP.

Sophie is greeted wherever she goes in the area, from the fishermen on the lake to the market.







We stopped in the market for breakfast where we could buy omelettes, and other egg based dishes, coffee etc.

There was also a busy wine bar.





It was just as well that we were not staying long. All the produce looked very inviting. Then we moved on the see some of the sights of Brussels







We continued by tram to a large park by a museum which is being renovated. It has a lake and lots of woodland to walk in.





Some of the outdoor exhibits, showing Belgium's colonial past.





Out last stop was a cafe for a much needed ice cream and drink.

In the evening, we ate at a local cafe and then went to the Grand Place for a final photo.








Now we are on a train to The Hague
