Thursday 20th September
Much to Dad’s distress we took a bus and train into Brussels in order to go to the Natural History Museum, supposedly containing 30 Iguanodon skeletons and 18 Whale models. My preparation was poor to say the least and we spent a good two hours wandering around the European Houses of Parliament trying to find this rather large building, I stupidly thought it would be well sign posted from the Metro station. We asked 10 or 12 people in the area where it was and none of them knew. When we finally gave up and returned to the caravan we found a map and realised we were very close to it.
On Saturday, after Dad went home, we went into Brussels to try again, this time we found it easily and guess what? It was closed for refurbishment until October 27th. So another wasted day dragging kids on buses and metro’s, ho hum!
