A cold day in Brussels

We started the day with a lovely big breakfast... then tried to walk it off during the day. It's freezing cold here, and by this afternoon it was -7 C and snowing. We had more than a inch on the roads by the evening.

Today we:
- visited the EU Parliamentarium
- walked to Autoworld, but didn't go in
- walked back down the Rue de la Loi and had cauliflower and ginger soup for lunch
- visited the cathedral
- walked back to the Grand Place and found the Maneken Pis (wearing a top hat and tails)
- ate a waffle in the street to warm up
- walked some more and I lost my bearings looking for Monday's restaurant
- returned to the hotel and fell asleep (it was a late night yesterday after a long week)
- went back out for dinner and ended up in a comfortable, warm bar/restaurant - I had an omelette, Andrew had croque monsieur, we both enjoyed some more beer

There are so many things we can do tomorrow... We'll see what the weather's like but I'm guessing there'll be lots more walking.
