Brussels - 29th August 2025

To get to Brussels we didn't take Sun Chi, we walked a kilometer to the bus stop, a bus the centre of Ghent then a train into Brussels.

Street to the Grand Place

The Grand-Place, is the central square of Brussels, Belgium, and the main square of the city. It is the place where citizens have gathered for large events and markets for centuries. It is also the location of the city government.

The area of 7,480 square meters is surrounded by the Baroque guild houses, the Gothic town hall and the neo-Gothic King's House. The square, initially built in the 11th century, is completely paved. The construction was not completed until the 17th century and has been the subject of many reconstructions following wars and conflicts over the centuries.

Today, the Grand-Place is an important landmark in Brussels. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1998. The square is often home to festivals and other cultural events.


Town Hall, hard to get the whole building in the photo see below photo for the top of the building









The main reason we went to Brussel was to pickup a Gas Spring, so there was another train ride and a kilometer walk to LDA.

Works like a charm

11 kilos to lift up the hatch

Then use the boat hook on the corner while we change to the new one
