Day 272: Brussels: History and Naps

November 14, 2016

Today was a fairly chilled out day. The weather wasn't great, but I braved it, as I only have 2 days in Brussels.

I started off with a walking tour which covered most of the city. I didn't realise how much money was historically in the town, and just how big the European Union is within the city. More than 10% of people who live in Brussels work for the EU, whose headquarters are in the city.

They also have the strangest mascot, a little boy who pees drinking water. In the spirit of equality, they later put in a little girl too.

I spent the afternoon napping, as I again, the overnight bus had a ferry portion, which really ruins an otherwise good night's sleep!
