( me at the Grande Place of Brussels )

 

Little walk around Brussels in the morning, it was my second time because my first time was with my ex boyfriend In April 2013 for his graduation holiday. So I remember a bit the city and was a big pleasure have again the possibility to be there. But unfortunately after lunch I went to the Charleroi airport direction Riga. And finally around 9 pm I arrived at home.

Was absolutely emotional come back there after one year and now if I thought about those days feels like a lovely dream. It’s always very difficult day good bye to the person and to the places for me and this time I know that I will be back in Tomar not soon, maybe Lisbon but not my little Tomar.
