A Day Trip to Brussels, Belgium - 5th April 2009
Isobel and Fred head out to Brussles to see Jules and Pieter. Nosher's a bit tied up at work, but decides at the last minute to go out for the Saturday night via Eurostar. The idiot car-park ticket machine at Cambridge station nearly scuppers the whole thing, as it seems impossible to get a standard "day" ticket. Insult is added to injury as a late train manages to wait until literally 2 seconds before Nosher gets to its doors before leaving. However, the next train still gets Nosher to St. Pancras in London with about 15 minutes to spare - plenty of time. Upon arriving in Brussels, it's time for Moules et Frites and a Dutch-language DVD, followed by a morning out with Pieter to go and see the Atomium, out the the Brussels Expo Park.

We're at the Punter Pub for Hani's last night
Brett, Ben and Hani at the bar
Candles on the windowsill
The ghost of the barman serves beer
The lads at the bar
Pieter lines up a pinhole photo of a gnome
Fred at the Eurostar terminal
Natan's playing guitar in his first gig
A crowd in Brussels
Jules waves some leaflets around
Natan's school gang on stage
Pieter chops something up
Kai and Natan in the kitchen
A pinhole camera shot of an apple and a Chinese dragon
A Brussel's zebra crossing
A Lambourghini waits outside a restaurant
Fred gets fed
Isobel makes a banana pancake
Fred isn't sure
The newly-restored Atomium
Shiny stainless-steel balls
Groovy 50s atomic architecture
Wide-angle shot of the Atomium
At the foot of the Atomium
More 1950s styling
Pieter checks some of his pinhole results
The Atomium looks like a B-29
The Belgian flag flies
An old dude on a bicycle
A peloton of cyclists
Some hardcore cyclists speed by
A derelict building on the edge of the Expo park
An old building covered in dead plants
A wrecked building just like the film Logan's Run
Broken steps
Bleak concrete post-modernism
The detritus of life
A stop sign
The boys are in a Brussel's sand pit
Hanging out on a bench
Kai and Fred
All the boys
Fred and Pieter
Isobel and Fred on the Eurostar
Fred eats orange goo on the Eurostar
Fred has a sleep
