Medina, as far as I understand it, is the old town within the old city walls..usually.
The medina is pretty close to our hotell, 2-3km or so, a nice walk in great weather. I think it was 30-33 degrees here today, not a cloud to be seen. So i usually keep close to the side of the street and shadow, while Maren seeks out as much sun as is possible.
True to traditions we have our yearly celebration of our wedding anniversary (the 8th.). This year it was Maren that did the planning and we ended up outside of Europe for once, Morocco.
Leaving Oslo at 7 in the morning, we decided to book a night at the airport hotell – the generic airport hotell, but! They had a extraordinary nice banana mojito.

A weird thing to visit maybe, but it is a ‘thing’ for sure.. we got here fairly early in the morning, a -of all things- sunny morning! (Finally!). And walking up to the grave of Jim Morrison probably felt different without the hordes of tourists coming here during peak season.

And the headed overr to the park, Champ de Mars, where the Eiffel tower stands… Raining, again… Not to bad – but still..
330 meter high… You get a more feel of the size of it when you get close, and se people walking up n down.

And – as luck again would have it, so close to our hotell that we could walk over in a short time
A small place, in the Barbes area.. probably seating inside for max 50 ppl.

There is no point in traveling around Belgium, switching hotels and towns.. everything is just an hour away by train.
Today we decided on going to Bruges, the rain has been following us for several days – but we had hope for some det weather at least, maybe even to see the sun according to yr.no..
Bruges was a completely different place than Brussels. It was borderline over-idyllic, and there was no construction anywhere. (Brussels is just a construction site where people have decided to live)
