Brussels P1

Saturdays Target was Brussels
Capital of Belgium.
Home to Tintin and Chocolate
Breakfast at 09:40 was at the bakery.
Where e got to choose from 10 different types of croissant
Walking past the town hall on our way to the first stop
The Palace of Justice was in the background
Local art on the Houses.
But it was the oldest Antique Flea Market that Jennifer wanted to see.
This one has been running for 400 years.
The brass stuff was numerous, there were bronze 
money boxes that Dad would have purchase if was there.
There was also A LOT OF JUNK.
We passed and stopped at the Église Notre-Dame de la Chapelle
This wonderful little 11th Century Chapel was a little gem
not a lot of Painting but the Architecture is worth stopping to see.
It got bombed during the war, so not many windows.
the art work was post war.
but they had kept the beautiful architecture.
the pulpit was modern.
once outside. the beauty of it was not lost.
Just up the road was the Old Brussells Town Walls.
So off to find the Grand Place.
but statues were in view along the way.
