Last Day with the Piss Boy (Mannikan Pis) - Brussels

Started the day once more looking out across the Grand Place whilst having breakfast - if only the weather had been better.

Decided to brave the inclement weather and caught the Metro (train) out to the European Union area of Brussels. Wandered through Jubilee Park, just beautiful and green - even in the wet.

Spend several hours wondering around the Musee De Larmee Et De L’History (Museum of Military History) - quite an interested array of modern and ancient war artefacts.

Took a walk through Leopold Parc and visited the EU Parliament.

Visited the Konklisk Paleis / Palais Royal - whilst on my way to collecting some of the important and very tasty Belgian chocolates from a couple of small but well known stores (on the recommendation of some locals I had met).

I arrived at the airport early evening and had to sit around until about 2100hrs before I left - time to catch up on emails etc.
