Today is our last day here. What a wonderful trip it has been. We’re a bit weary, but our spirits remain high. Tomorrow we go to the airport and make the long trek back to America.
We decided to catch the Metro to go out to the Cinquantenaire Arch in Jubelpark.
The sky was overcast for the first time on this trip, but no rain.
Connected to the arch are three museums, two of which were open so we decided to check them out.
The first was the Autoworld, an automobile museum that has a VERY impressive collection of cars and motorcycles.
There were some unbelievable cars on display. I bet Joe Linbeck could easily identify most of them.
The other museum was the Royal Army and Military History Museum which has a collection of military memorabilia that spans 10 centuries of military and technological history.
A huge hangar filled with military aircraft is the absolute highlight of the collection.
After we were done with the museums we caught the metro back to the hotel and then headed out to take care of one last thing.
Cynthia came up with the idea of starting a new tradition. We are going to take one of Mr. Zippers feathers with us whenever we travel and let it fall from the highest point we can get to.
We took the feather she was carrying to the top of Place Poelaert and let it go. Fly high Mr. Zippers!
That’s about it for this trip. We are going to take it easy this evening and forego the New Years festivities. We’ve got an early flight in the morning.
Fly high, Mr. Zippers!
Oh…..motor porn…..thanks….
the feather thing is cool…..
