every puppy has its day, everybody has to pay, everybody has to meet his Waterloo....
we travelled on to Brussels and made a last detour to Waterloo to see where Napolean was defeated. This earthen monument was erected in the early 1800's and once you climb the 200+ steps (and we did) it gives a magnificent 360" view of the battleground. Some of the farmhouses that are standing today were standing during the battle....I find that amazing! Before moving on, we enjoyed a refreshment at the local inn. They actually served iced tea!!! While enjoying our refreshment two busloads of Asians disembarked along with several Buddhist monks in yellow robes...the irony of Buddhists monks visiting Waterloo was not overlooked.
