Wednesday 22nd October

Arose rather late – about 10o’clock! After lunch everyone else being either at work or occupied, went out walking alone – across the bridge and around the opposite bank, returning about 3p.m.

Tuesday 21st October

Arrived in Brussels about midday and phoned Jos.  I then proceeded to Temse by way of Mechlen , and arrived about 6p.m.  Enjoyed a very pleasant evening and most comfortable night.

Monday 20th October

Said farewell to Maurice in the morning, who departed for Paris by bus.  Left myself in the evening on the 6.14p.m. train from Menton to Paris and Brussels!  The train was empty – with only one other man in the conchette compartment.
