Day 2 of the tour
After a very quiet night we were all up at 5am for a 60 minute drive (why is everything in Belgium 60 mins away)
Parking in a very conveniently situated carpark we done a brisk hop skip and jump and we were in.
Pitch black we made our way down to the basement for an hours attempt at sleeping,the excitement was too much for me and there was no chance of sleeping.
About 7:50am we made our way up and into the main hall, this is the 2nd time I`ve been lucky enough to do this magnificent building, as just like the first time it took my breath away.
It so bloody big !! it tricks you from the outside, and it tricks you from the low ceiling rooms you walk through to get to the main hall, how many times I just stopped and looked around, probably too many.
I feel honoured to have stood in this place, really holds a grip over me I cant explain, maybe its like when your a child and your have your favourite sports/super car and then you see it, I guess thats what this place is like for me. Ever since seeing a pic of this 18 months ago i knew I had to get in there, no matter what. I still get the hairs on the back of neck standing up when I think/look at pics of it.
Anyhows.......... 5hours later we exited and started the 60 minute (see what I mean) drive to location number 3
sorry for the number of pics but this is cut down from 70 !
cheers
