I’m really just passing through, as I have to catch an early bus to the Charleroi airport. So, just the day. Or less, really. I’m down to about 15 hours before my bus leaves in the morning, so I better make the most of it. I wanted some time to check out the city, so anything I need daylight for I better do now. It’ll start getting dark in a few hours, especially with the overcast weather that’s been prevalent for the past week. So, I’ll start off doing what I love best about being somewhere new…. getting lost walking.

I have a map and my camera… time to check out the scene.
