Five minutes later a knock on our door, it was the bellman we had to move to another room. we had to pack with no notice, grab our robes and toiletries and head down the hall. Enter room number 5. It had stained drapes and wallpaper and a bathroom light that hummed every time we turned it on but that seemed like a small thing after everything else.

We met our friends and headed down for breakfast. One of our friends almost caused an International incident when he toasted raisin bread. They literally yelled at him, "You can only toast bread" evidently in Brussels raisin bread isn't toasting bread. Then our other friend tried to walk out of the breakfast room with a newspaper. The Maitre de acted as if we had just heisted the Hope Diamond. Nope you can't remove the newspaper.
