Landing in Amsterdam in the European summer of 2001, I met up with colleagues Stefaan Bouwer and Andre Roux. We headed
off on a week long road trip through Arnheim, the Ardennes (St Vith, Bastogne, Malmedy), Luxembourg and finally Belgium (Waterloo
and the Brussels Museum)
Brussels proved to be a secret gem of Europe - wonderful architecture, culture and food. We arrived on the weekend of
the Jazz festival, and the city was humming....
