Brussels Day 1

 Today was the end of our tour, so there was no need to get out in any rush.  We took our time and got out around 10.

Our first stop was the famous Mr. Piss statue.  I was warned in advance that I would be disappointed, and the warnings were true.   Having said if you’re in Paris you have to visit the Eiffel Tower.  To add insult to injury the plumbing was broken and he wasn’t even pissing.

We walked around and found a giant Smurf mural.

In the afternoon Sandy went to the Royal Art Museum, I went to the Belgian Military Museum.  Since most of the European ears of the last 200 years have taken place in Belgium there was a lot of material to use.  I saw a WWI tank and a replica of the Red Baron’s airplane.  I’d rate it as one of the best military museums I have ever visited.

In the special Russian section there was a tunic that 11 year old prince Alexis.
