I arrived safely in Belgium airport, now 10 days ago. I remembered that my suitcase was way too big by European standards. Though the size was chosen by the size of my block pillow and wonderful accouterments. After, struggling valiantly down two flights of stairs to the Quay, I stumbled, suitcase and al.  With the help of the platform guard onto the train, others stepped more conveniently by with their smaller bags! The scene was repeated in Brussels, North Station. Where again I managed to just catch the Brugges train. This time setting  my suitcase in the spot between the cars.  The suitcase would not go above. The train was filled with day trippers to brugges

 I was on and the brugges stop arrived 1 hour after passing, many  meadows, many cows and many small tidy brick homes. Yahoo!
