Work trip to Bornem, Belgium - 3rd to 4th April 2008

A quick trip to Bornem in Belgium for a day of work. I got a late Eurostar over to Belgium, and thanks to the Tube being useless, ended up making a lovely run through Kings Cross underground station to make the train in time. It was absolutely packed for some reason, I have no idea what seemed to be drawing so many people to Brussels on a Thursday night. A 40 minute cab ride through the streets of Brussels and the Belgian motorway network, and I was in Bornem just in time to collapse in bed.

After my meeting, I took the train back to Brussels on the ever excellent Belgian train network. Being a fairly small country, nowhere is too far from anywhere, and the whole place seems to be very comprehensively covered by railways. Unlike the UK, it is actually a decent and fairly pleasurable way to get around, and stuff generally seems to be reliable - what a novelty. Nothing remotely exciting to report from the trip - just one of those bits of work travel that doesn't really excite, but is a necessary evil.
