And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time‘.
T S Eliot, Little Gidding
Day 166 Saturday 28 July
A day in Brussels: breakfast at Le Pain Quotidien, browsing round the Saturday antique market in the Place du Grand Sablon, a walk to the Botanic Gardens, lunch at La Maison de Crepes… and the evening Eurostar back to Ebbsfleet
And a poem on the wall of the Gare du Midi:
‘This is no beach/This is not the edge of the sea/This is a horizon with gulls/the future where we all begin to dream’

A train that goes on a ferry – even at this late stage, I’m still having new experiences! 
And when I arrived… sunset over the Alster.
