day one - 16 march 2019 - brussels
after checking in at hotel ibis brusssles off grand place (https://all.accor.com/hotel/1046/index.en.shtml), we went strolling around looking for the famous manneken pis aka the peeing boy statue. this bronze statue is only 61 cm tall but it surely attracts visitors from all over the world.

while in the neighborhood, we also visited jeanneke pis.
