Martin and Gillian, Belgium

Sadly we spent only one day and morning with Gillian, she invited us into her home and took the time to show us some of her city which made our too short stay extra special. Gillian, thanks and if you will have us we will come back to "help" you explore some more.

Guy took us to a small pub that he said was "the best" and after spending a day with this gentleman I can say that not only did I enjoy having him as a guide in Brussels, I would enjoy having him as a friend. As a tourist you do not get to really see a city, but if you have a friend who is knowledgeable, then you are in luck, thanks Guy.
