Europe's best kept secret
Many seasoned travellers regard Belgium as one of Europe's best kept secrets.

We arrived to cosmopolitan Brussels with 3 lost bags and 1 missing person. One suitcase went to Moscow but all caught up eventually. Janice and I led a perfect size group of 39, not too big to get lost in or too small for comfort. Each July trip draws school teachers who have loyally followed me around the world and they do love Europe. We began with a light orientation tour in the historic heart of this capital, followed by a tour of the Chocolate Museum. I found this boring, but the tastings were great.

However, I was a little shocked and pleasantly surprised to find a bustling hub of a city of some charm and character.
