Yesterday we arrived in Brussels to stay with an old school friend and her family. Since we arrived we have been treated like royalty and have had a years worth of chocolate spread over two meals. There was 6 different ‘chocolate’ to try over brekkie. The girls are in heaven.

We also had the pleasure of some excellent wines, which was a nice change from the 1.50 Euro poison we were drinking in Berlin. I confessed to M that I tried mixing the vinagrette passing as shiraz with the syrop passing as riesling, to see if it was more drinkable. Alas it was not. Needless to say it took me 6 days to get through one bottle. Last night M and I finished a lovely bottle over a couple of hours and this morning I paid for it.

Luckily I did a drawing of the nuclear plant behind the wind turbines on route from Koeln to Brussels. Today my brain can’t cope with drawing.
