Family Reunion

Jay and I arrived in Brussels, the capital city of Belgium. We are staying with some friends who we met when they spent a year travelling in New Zealand. About an hour after we arrived, my eldest daughter, Greer arrived, with her partner, Ben. They arrived from Eindhoven in the Netherlands, where Ben has just got a job as a concept artist for a video game company. It was lovely to all be together again.

Our friend Andres took us on a walking tour around Brussels. 

The first stop was this shop. It sold an amazing collection of graphic novels and comic books.

Most of the books are in Dutch and French. These are the two main official languages in Belgium. 

This is part of the old city wall. We are on the inside.

Where Jay is sitting, an archer would have stood with a bow and arrow to fire out towards approaching enemies.

We had Belgian Waffles...yum!

It was very interesting to discover Brussels and great fun to be together.
