title A Day Trip to Brussels, Belgium - 5th April 2009 intro 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. dscf1525 Fred hangs around in the lounge imgp3951 We're at the Punter Pub for Hani's last night imgp3958 Brett, Ben and Hani at the bar imgp3960 Candles on the windowsill imgp3966 The ghost of the barman serves beer imgp3979 The lads at the bar imgp3981 Pieter lines up a pinhole photo of a gnome dscf1528 Fred at the Eurostar terminal dscf1530 Natan's playing guitar in his first gig dscf1534 A crowd in Brussels dscf1539 Jules waves some leaflets around dscf1545 Natan's school gang on stage imgp3986 Pieter chops something up imgp3988 Kai and Natan in the kitchen imgp3993 A pinhole camera shot of an apple and a Chinese dragon imgp4001 A Brussel's zebra crossing imgp4006 A Lambourghini waits outside a restaurant imgp4013 Fred gets fed imgp4014 Isobel makes a banana pancake imgp4015 Fred isn't sure imgp4029 The newly-restored Atomium imgp4033 Shiny stainless-steel balls imgp4035 Groovy 50s atomic architecture imgp4038 Wide-angle shot of the Atomium imgp4052 At the foot of the Atomium imgp4071 More 1950s styling imgp4077 Pieter checks some of his pinhole results imgp4086 The Atomium looks like a B-29 imgp4095 The Belgian flag flies imgp4098 An old dude on a bicycle imgp4099 A peloton of cyclists imgp4102 Some hardcore cyclists speed by imgp4105 A derelict building on the edge of the Expo park imgp4110 An old building covered in dead plants imgp4112 A wrecked building just like the film Logan's Run imgp4115 Broken steps imgp4116 Bleak concrete post-modernism imgp4117 The detritus of life imgp4123 A stop sign imgp4127 The boys are in a Brussel's sand pit imgp4131 Hanging out on a bench imgp4134 Kai and Fred imgp4139 All the boys imgp4146 Fred and Pieter imgp4147 Isobel and Fred on the Eurostar imgp4149 Fred eats orange goo on the Eurostar imgp4159 Fred has a sleep imgp4160 Back at St. Pancras imgp4162 St. Pancras Eurostar terminal imgp4164 Fred has a doze on a platform at Kings Cross imgp4166 A Hull Trains Class 222 at Kings Cross imgp4169 Fred sleeps as a train to Hull waits at Kings Cross imgp4172 Passengers stream on to the train imgp4175 Class 43 43296 in National Express livery imgp4176 Fred and Isobel on the train to Cambridge imgp4186 Isobel and Fred on the Cambridge train
