You ease into a leather seat in Brussels as the city blurs past — cobbled squares give way to motorway smoothness and the landscape opens into a ribbon of river valleys and low hills. The driver steers toward the Rhine corridor; windows frame wind-swept fields, the occasional castle perched on a hill, and the cathedral spires of Cologne rising like a distant challenge.
