Thankful
Today was one of those days. I had to be up at 4 am so that I could catch my taxi in time to make it to the airport. My hotel was supposed to have a shuttle bus, but I had to be there too early, luckily they gave me a flat rate which wasn't so bad t get to the airport.
I love the Brussels airport, not only was it decorated in Christmas lights, it was clean AND they were playing Edith Piaf! Brussels is mainly a French speaking city, so I guess it makes sense ...

We got up had some breakfast and fresh coffee in the room then walked to St ...
Cats, Campo dei Fiori, and the Jewish Ghetto
Another rainy start to the day, and a phone call to the agency to find out what's happening with the washing machine. They were very quick to tell me it was some major electronic fault, and offer the address of a laundromat and a partial refund of the rental, so I suspect this was a known problem and there's no real chance of it being fixed while we're here.
