Brussels in an afternoon

Flat photos are in Smugmug.com (taken with my Sony QX-100).
360-degree photos are in Flickr.com (taken with my LG 360).


Even with a long night's sleep, I still woke up at the usual time so I didn't get to Brussels until around noon.

I was planning to give my legs a break by doing the hop-on-hop-off tours but I had to find an ATM first, and Google Maps showed the nearest one several blocks away.

After getting cash, I found a small church so I went in for some pictures. Then I decided to look for the Manneken Pis, but it wasn't pissing!


After close inspection of the photos, I have to admit that, yes, he was pissing after all.

Then I saw another church and took more pictures. Then I saw the St. Catherine Plaza on the map and decided to go. More pictures, of course.



I found a kebab place just across from the church and had my lunch/dinner at 4pm.

Then I headed to the Grote Markt, took lots more pictures, bought Godiva chocolates, then headed back.

It was a little worrisome having to walk the 1.4 km to the Airbnb after dark, and I probably would have been mugged if I didn't turn around at the right moment, but I made it safely. I might have to take Uber for that short distance when I leave on Saturday with my luggage.
