This electric 'car' was the fastest one in the world in 1899*, at 105kph
nice model of centre george pompidou
it was 'fun' to get our luggage up the stairs :)
every city seems to have a ferris wheel now :)
finally we made it to Basilique Nationale du Sacré-Cœur à Koekelberg thanks to uber, still foggy at 10:00
it did look better by the time we left :)
escalators or stairs between the balls
part of the expo recounted when Belgium still had an airline, Sabena (since then bankrupt)
Hergé is famous for the great job he did with Tintin, but he was just one of many
the museum pointed out that the first comic strips actually came from the egyptians
I also loved the schtroumpfs (smurfs)
beautiful Galeries Royales St Hubert, filled with shops
sadly, not much of a view from the top of those churches, bummer... (Belfort and Saint Bravo's Cathedral)
Music box that actuates the bells of Belfort
just like the rest of Ghent, the view wasn't fantastic due to fog
pretty, that bird that eats the cocoa beans :)
all the reasons why chocolate is good for your health :)
yummy samples to try on the way out :)
first time I've seen X-Ray machines before boarding a train
you can tell from here, it's pretty heavily packed
chamoix still involved sliding down a rock on your butt
the drain was not bad, but still a bit low on snow
the ridge from cornice was open, you could ride it down
except I ended up on top of this, and had to jump it down, maybe 7ft. That was a bit scary since the snow underneath was not much of a cushion
long line for the reut since everything else was closed
it was deceiving, it looked good, but really wasn't
fresh tracks, and all, but it was so hard, no tracks left behind
