Buses all went on strike today
Left Victoria Station at 10.30. 8 of us in the party; Halls, Hills, Everett, McCabe, and myself. Got to Dover 12.30, took steamer, Leopold, across the English Channel to Ostend [Belgium]. Good smooth trip over, then train to Brussels, there about 6.30. Out to Madame Maas to stop, beautifully furnished. Mrs E & I had a lovely room, with private bath, good meals, make us very comfortable. After dinner, which we finished at 9.30, all went to town with madame to see the shops. Got back about 11. All done and very tired off to bed.
