I told myself this time in Brussels would have to be different, I decided to make a plan and explore the enchanting city of Brugge, that is only a few miles by train from Brussels.
We got to the hotel in Brussels around 930am...... left my bags in my room and went to the grocery store about 2 blocks away from the hotel ( flight attendants .. know every grocery stores near the hotel in the cities our company flies to). Bought a bottle of Corsican Wine and a bottle of Chateau de Ramball Bordeaux (2004) for a future special occassion, also bought cereal for the next morning, chocolates Cote d'or and a salad just in case I couldnt get out of my room from lack of sleep and exhaustion from flying all night
Sweet shop in Brussels
. I always plan ahead on a lay over.....deprivation of sleep is a constant for flight attendants, sometimes the body just says no, and then I wont venture far from the hotel.Back to the hotel around 10am from the grocery store, took a shower, made a cup of earl grey tea. I could hear the bed calling my name.... Mariss.... come and rest your achy bones...... ;-)
Woke up on my own around 2pm..... barely 3 hours after I had laid down.... decided right there.... to get up and start my day. The crew didnt want to do anything, most of the crew had been flying for days, wanting only to relax in their rooms and just BE!! ;-)
I walked to Brussels Centrale, the train station in Brussels, bought myself a round trip ticket to Brugge ......"
Here is where my adventure began" .....
See it in pictures.!!!!
