A day with Belguim Customs Service

A lovely breakfast at the Hotel (included in the package) looking out across the roof-tops into Grand Place - a nice start to a wonderful day. The continental breakfast with the freshest pastries was divine.

Met with Belgian Customs today at the Zaventam Airport.

Spend the remainder of the afternoon wondering around Brussels - visited the Cathedral of St Michael & St Gidula. This places is spectacular on the outside and only gets better on the inside.

After wandering around today, I’ve started wondering about the Australian attitude towards international visitors. Here in Brussels shop owners seems to have to be able to converse in several languages in order to survive, but how many Australians have ever bothered to try to learn another language to assist international visitors who enter their stores. Isolation as a nation really does make us quite selfish.

I was having a wonderful dinner of Moules and Frites until some loud obnoxious Americans entered the place…god they shit me at times.
