17Jun

A lovely day in a beautiful old town.  Toured a printing press museum and a Jesuit Baroque church - what a beauty with Ruben’s paintings and a personal tour by a dedicated staff member.  Tony was a bit concerned about the open air confessionals - public confession is not on his agenda!

We now qualify for seniors tickets on many European transport services so for a very reduced rate we travel well.  We discovered Kumo cakes in Brussels - a hybrid of macarons and tea cakes with a wafer of chocolate on top of pastry crème - delicious with afternoon tea,  

We left via Eurostar - albeit half an hour late - for a quick and easy trip to St Pancras in London.
