Another day, another country, another language. Decided to have birthday with a decent beer in Belgium. We have enjoyed lots of good wine including some very nice white Moselle and fizz from Luxembourg. Less successful red as you might expect but it will do for cooking on our return.
Can't fool me Deb. Your family's ear count is far too high to have any connection with Van Gogh!
Antwerp is a nice compact city with some typical low country buildings.
There was an interesting printing museum, a spectacular station below
plenty of good bars with some untried beers including various Oude Gueze which are my particular favourites. Also beers again from Brew Dog. Their marketing team must be second to none!
And, of course, a cathedral, below,
With 4 Rubens,
and some good stained glass windows,
but we're probably done with Cathedrals for this trip.
Our campsite was on the opposite bank of the Schelde and a 30 minute walk from the centre. A cruise ship passes the cathedral.
One of the stained glass windows from the cathedral.
The small harbour near our campsite.
We enjoyed our beers but the food since France has been a little disappointing. We don't expect it to get much better in Holland, our final port of call, before heading home. Last post middle of the week from Amsterdam.
Tot ziens,
J&P
