On the platform at Ashford International. |  |
Our first impression of Brussels (outside the Gare du Midi's back door) |
 |
In a great wee bar outside the station. |  |
Colin (Prestwick TA) looking pleased with himself. |
 |
Paul, Helen and the Prestwick TA (Colin, Steff, McGregor, Tom & Danny) along with the barmaid. |  |
Helen and her "feminine" glass. |
| Tuesday 4th September | |||
 |
Helen in the Grande Place, on the way to the pub. |  |
Paul and Davie (Milngavie TA) in the Mort Subite. Davie had to borrow Ally's drink as he was too embarrassed to be photographed drinking Coke! |
 |
The Milngavie Tartan Army looking cool before their open-topped bus tour. |  |
Ally, Chris, Helen, Paul and Sue model the latest NATA t-shirt. |
 |
The fledgling Cardiff Tartan Army. |  |
The most laid back bar in Brussels, in an old fish-market near the Bourse. |
 |
Allan, David, Scott and Brian in L'Archiduc jazz bar after their U21 jaunt to Sint Truiden. |  |
Paul with two friendly young men, out for a stroll at 2.30am in their workman hats. |

 |
An atmospheric grey sky over the stadium |  |
Paul puts the Grande Place into perspective. |
 |
Helen poses for a photo with a ludicrously dressed, padded figure of fun... and a big orange turtle |  |
On the terrace of the Heysel's answer to Lesser Hampden |
 |
Not a bad wee ground either! |  |
The original stadium facade to Heysel still stands. |
 |
Taken from outside the main stand. |  |
Outside Anderlecht's ground. |
 |
Directly opposite Anderlecht's ground, this wee bar is a supporters club HQ. |  |
Inside La Coupe. The landlady had Scottish friends, and wore a thistle pendant. |
 |
In a back-alley bar right next to The Bourse, we met the drunkest landlord in Brussels... still, he's done well for himself, eh? |  |
The drunkest landlord in Brussels teaches Helen a thing or two on the dance floor. |
 |
From L-R: Paul, the landlady, Ally, Scott & Josie (Notts Scots), Helen and Sue. | ||
| Friday 7th September | |||
 |
The Beer Festival in the GP on the Friday, with only a few hungover TA left hanging-on. |  |
A la Mort Subite, home of the famous fruit beers, and of NATA during the Belgium trip. |
 |
The world-famous Mannekin Pis statue, and yes, he's even smaller than he looks. |  |
The feminist inspired Jannekin Pis, now the haunt of shifty looking men in dirty macs. |
 |
One of the stands at Racing White Daring Molenbeek's ground - home to Brussels' second team. |  |
Turnstiles at RWDM. |
