We arrived in Brussels this morning after an uneventful flight from Montreal, all having gotten about 3 hours sleep. Everything was perfect until we went to collect our baggage and realized that Iain’s bag had been sent, not to Brussels but to Athens. Somehow as we had chatted with the Air Canada clerk back in Toronto she had mis-tagged his bag and sent it to Athens. He was none too pleased but we were assured that Air Canada would track it and get it to our hotel. We picked up our car – a Duster – which is going to be just great and slowly found our way to our hotel after several side-trips and U-turns.
The hotel is great, in a good location. We spent the day seeing some sights via tour bus with Iain nodding off. And of course had to try a real Belgian waffle, which was to die for!
When it started to rain we worked our way back to the hotel for naps, and Iain is still sleeping. Cath found the wine shop and a little grocery store with some provisions. We’ll be having an early dinner and bed tonight. Good news from Air Canada, the bag is on its way from Athens late tonight to arrive here by 9 tomorrow am!
Sounds like you're off to a good start. - except for Iain's bag. It will be great seeing the next photo of him in a different tshirt! Imagine finding a wine shop! Have fun and good luck with the driving!
