The toilets in the cellar of Café Walvis. That's right, the urinals have no privacy at all! I thought the toilet did not either, but there is a door.

Emilie had to go to the loo and asked me to mind Louison for her. Louison had been placid and happy the whole time... until Emilie left and then... total meltdown... At Café Walvis

Emilie and her 8 month old daughter Louison, at Café Walvis. Emilie WWOOFed with us back in 2012. It was great to meet up again 6 years later in her own city. She had not changed a bit (except now she is a mum). Emilie chose this cafe as she said there are very few cafes in Brussels with a baby change table, and all are Flemish.

A rather posh butcher and charcuterie shop. I thought all those things hanging from the ceiling were probably just decoration, but they are not - they're real charcuterie products

On the Grote Markt (Grand Place) of Brussels. I like the goose. On the left is the Belgian Beer Museum, which I think is to be moved to the Beurs (Bourse) building
