The Brussels Son et Lumiere festival show – Grand Place

 

We just got back from a week away travelling the Low Countries by train.  Had a great time in Leiden, Antwerp, Ghent and Brussels.  How it is that people say Belgium is boring I do not know…. mad bars, fantastic beers,good food, a vibrant cultural scene coupled with pleasant people and wonderful architecture are all good in my book.  Is it the lower change of being glassed on a night out that renders it boring?

 

Anyway, a video from the heart of Brussels:

And a few photos:
