Rain and drizzle all day, but I made the most of it. My little drone is also holding its own with the weather. Oodles of history here in Brussels - and lots of delicious chocolate! Easter is apparently a good time to be here I guess. 23,738 steps so far today.
I think I got a lot of good shots with today's video. I tried to include more labelling on the specific locations and points of interest that I stumbled my way into.
Heading to Amsterdam tomorrow for 3 sleeps. I will likely not be posting a new video for a few days. I have a 6.5 hr train ride to Berlin afterwards and I plan to put together the Amsterdam video during that journey.
Highlights/Insights from today not captured in the video:
Never put any thought into this before visiting, but Brussels has a very large Muslim population.
Old Grandmas wearing babushkas do not give any fucks about who is in their way on the metro or in the streets - they are coming through so you better move!
Most people in the hotels thus far have been great and been very kind and thoughtful - following the golden rule. The bad eggs though, are such a headache. I do those ones do come from a place of unintentional selfishness and ignorance, so I have just been trying to go with the flow. Overall things have honestly been great so far.
All the best.
Eric
