Brussels

Walking down the Gallerie des Bouchers- butchers (now given over to Restaurants)
The Princess and Nina in the Grand Place de Bruxelles
The Hotel de Ville - the Town Hall - was the first major building on the Grand Place.  Built in the 15th century, it still has its original spire and the main building has been reconstructed significantly over the last couple of hundred years. 
Some of the beautiful buildings in the Grand Place
The Manneken Pis - has become a symbol of Brussels for some strange reason. Here he's 'dressed' in Belgian colours for the World Cup.
The old and the new faces of Brussels.
Original 'fur shop' building - now something quite different, but a lovely building.
Nina and the Princess in the beautiful park -Place de Petit Sablon
Notre Dame de la Chappelle
Lunch at Le Quartier Gourmond in les Marolles - it was a wonderful meal, with great company!

Nina and the Princess - AGAIN!
The "Old England" building, now housing the Musee des Instruments de Musique - musical instruments museum.
Rue Royale
The Royal Palace
Parc du Royal
The Belgian Parliament
Notre Dame de Chappelle
Just a walk in the park for the Princess and the Pauper!
