Brussels - Day 3

We started our day by trying out the bicycles Brussels had to offer. They are positioned all over the city and for a small fee you can take one and deposit it elsewhere. They worked really well and it was a great change of scenery. Unfortunately the first leg we took was almost completely uphill and it was already hot by the time we left the hotel, but it was still enjoyable.
We took a glass elevator down from the place where our bikes were to the street of the Jewish Museum of Belgium.

Doesn't he look great?

A very typical looking intersection in Brussels.

Where's Homeless Waldo?

Before lunch we went to the Museum of Costume and Lace. They had a fabulously beautiful collection of clothes from the sixties. Unfortunately, no cameras were allowed. We also went to the Museum of Belgium Brewery. Pictures were allowed, but there wasn't much to photograph.

After lunch we grabbed the bikes again and went to the Natural History Museum. We were disappointed to find out that it wasn't air conditioned as we had hoped.
Notice the old dinosaur in the foreground and the old people in the background.

One of these things is not like the other.
