hhhm how should I put it,
Bruxelles is nice and everything, but you're going to be dead bored starting the third day.
Here's what you should do the fourth day.
wake up early, let say around 9 go straight to La gare du Midi and take the train to Amsterdam but get out at "Rosenthal". once you there get some bud and take the train back to bruxelles. it will take you around 2 or 3 hours if you're fast enough and don't over smoke in amsterdam.
(btw: if you don't want to go back to bruxelles, go to Anvers its quite nice and you'll get the cold air and grey sky from the north see (if you are in the rap game go get some diams)).lets say you decide to come back. once you're back at the Midi station, get the train and go to namur (i'm not sure the name of the exact zone, get some help from the tourist desk), outside the town there's a tundra zone, full of quicksand hole and dinosaur fossils. its amazing and if you're baked its even better. watch out for those holes if you don't want to get lost :).
when you're done ride the train and go to luxembourg or france for a quick sausage refill. this trip can be done in a day if done well, but the tundra is so fuckn amazing that if I was you i'll stay there at least 2 days.Cheers

Brussels is good for a day - as long as it's not Sunday, everything shuts. Good beers and chocolate though. And lots of mussels. Could go to the old expo place.

Basically the city and the comic book museum collaborated to bring new value to a few blind walls in somewhat "run down" parts of town. It's a very nice scenic route too. Brings you to the less touristic, but all the more charming and "real" Brussels.
I think you'll find a decent map here:

Hey that's cool! I just told a coworker people in Brussels paint comics on their houses and saw a few of these on flickr..
What's the story behind ?

There's a great tour running along giant mural paintings with comic book art in the center of the city, if that's your thing.

I remember there was a huge old building on top of a centrally located hill, with classical columns and probably a dome. It could've been Palais de Justice but I'm not sure, we only drove past it. I think there was a lookout point next to it. Does that ring a bell?..

Dublin? Not that cold anymore since yesterday. Plenty of light clouds up the sky, which I'd say qualifies as "sunny" here.

Parts of the city are nice, so people say, I think the city is shit, especially when compared to Antwerp, but I'm sure you'll find something to do...

you can walk to midi in about 10 minutes or so. it's two metro stops.
I imagine you could leave your luggage there.
as far as I remember most of the bars nearby are gay bars but if that's not your thing it's a 5 or 10 minute walk into the centre...
p.s. how's the weather in dublin at the moment? myself and herself are heading back home tonight for the weekend!!!
