Manneken Pis

We were shocked of how tiny it actually is !

La Gare Centrale

Near the central station there are some nice expensive apartments and a tree with pink flowers (cherry blossom). It was really cold waiting for the bus outdoors though.

Town Hall

The Grand Place

Fortunately there weren’t too many people, only some school kids on a day trip.

Museum of the City of Brussels

It was a very nicely organised museum with a comprehensive collection.

The Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula

The painted glass panels of the Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula

It looks dim from this photo but the light from outside was actually very bright such that this photo can reflect the silhouette of the painted glasses.

Parc de Bruxelles

Just me and Auksė swinging in the park.

Auksė in the Garden of the Mont des Arts

Auksė in the Royal Palace Museum

Royal Palace

This is interesting because the Palace is slightly inclined. I hope it doesn’t say anything bad about the Royal Family (?)

Palais de Justice

“Police partout, justice complice” I was first shocked to see this manifesting slogan not being erased from the wall of the Palais of Justice. Then I felt a strong sense of empathy for the slogan – there is only one thing the police can do wrong in every society with rule of law.
