Just arrived at our hotel in Belgium. Really didn’t have to get up at 6:15am this morning; plenty of cabs waiting outside our hotel, and you can arrive 5 minutes before the train leaves and you’re fine. No passport controls, just get on board and go. Far more civilized than flying! Presently we’re going to walk to Grand Place while waiting for a room to become available. Then maybe sleep for a bit. 🙂
