Day 1 in Brussels

After a smooth, quick ride on the Eurostar, through relatively flat, green farm lands of france and Belgium, we got to Brussels Midi, and jumped on a local train to De Brouckere. The local train was kind of like a tram, more than a train, but ran underground. Very clean.

It's almost time...

We've been in our little apartment here for almost 5 months now. But the time has come. It's homelessness bound.

What a week..

Ok - so we've been a bit barren on posts over the past 9 or 10 days. But we have good reason, you have to trust us.

Corfu - Beach Break

Once we got back on board the boat at Split, we continued on our merry way to to Corfu, Greece. This was our next programmed port of call, and we had booked into a "Beach Break" shore excursion...

Split

The first stop on our cruise was the Croatian town of Split

Don't get me wrong...

I recognise the rights of unions, or even non-union employees, to strike, if they feel they aren't getting a fair deal. That makes perfect sense to me. In particular right now, I'm talking about the BA strikes

Booking Trains...

Those aware of our plans (in so far as we have them) will be aware that in late May, we're flying BA to Rome, staying a night in Rome, then getting an overnight train from Rome to Venice, to board our cruise. (Choose the 7 day, Greek Isles cruise). Then we're staying a couple of nights in Venice, hiring a car, and driving around Northern Italy for 8 days, before flying back again in early June. This trip is both our honeymoon, and our 3 year anniversary, so we're pretty excited.
