An Amsterdam friend, An, is lecturing in Brussels, and came to Leuven for a sociable evening. Discovered Gambinus, a lovely old fashioned cafe on the Grote Markt.

Also discovered that at this time of year the restaurant specials tend to be superbly cooked game.

We arrived back to snow. Very pretty and seasonal.

Not sure we have the strength of character to move back onto Rusty in this weather.

Very ill last night. Well, it's part of the experience, I suppose.



Managed to throw everything into a suitcase and get downstairs by checkout time, but feeling mangled, and looking it.

The hotel took pity on me and let me have the room back, as we weren't leaving till the evening.

I regret missing the last day's sightseeing. I never did get to ride a tuk-tuk.

Couldn't leave without another look at the market, especially the flower market.

Then an evening meal at the home of a Philips manager. Wonderful food.
