Making use of the metro at our
front doorstep one last time, we bundled our luggage to Gare du Nord to board
our mid-morning train, headed east. In less than an hour-and-a-half, we’d

list; home of beers and chocolates, mussels and chips, and a mixture of the
cultures by which it is surrounded: welcome to Belgium.
