On Sunday, We stayed the night with Diarmaid and Aine in London. We set off early on Monday morning, and, after my customary search at security, we boarded the 08:04 Eurostar for Brussels.

Having left our bags at the apartment, day one involved walking to the Grand Place, eating massive burgers at Cafe Novo, and walking past the Palais Royale to the Palais de Justice. The viewing point there gave great views of the north of the city.

Today started with our first #travelintrainers experience, as our morning run took us to Laeken, the residence of the Royal Family, Atomium and the red light district. Fuelled by waffles, we headed for Brussels City Museum to find out a little more about the lovely country of Belgium.
