Antwerp Day 11

Hello again to my dood around the world. It is small indeed!

Today, the weather was warmer than the usual cold. We slept in while the parents went on a supermarche(supermarket) trip to buy the breakfast/lunch.

So the plan was to go on a short road trip down south to Antwerp, Belgium. So yea! Add 1 more euro country to the list! England, France, Netherlands and to Belgium! But now we’re back in their house in Holland.


So this is Benjamin(family friend of the aunt Siew Kien), driving, and andrea holding on tight. We set off in 3 cars. A 2 Citroens and an Opel. An average speed of 130km/h on the freeway.






This is Andrea at Antwerp. The streets are very tight. Everything has been conserved and kept as original as possible. I like this common European policy. Conservation!



Nick and dad with the town hall in the background. De cathedral the tallest structure in the area..


Pointy houses that are now cafes, homes and chocolate shops




I forgot what we were doing.. yea.




After walking though the more trendy area of Antwerp, we settled down on the terrace for a drink.

“At the terrace!” – meaning lets have a drink, alfresco style.
This is Mark(my cousin), Benjamin and uncle Hans.

Tight alleys and walkways. And look at the roads we're walking on. Even the roads we drive on are like that. Rocky road..




Ah! We finished off Antwerp with a movie at some kickass cinema. Then a last drink here at the terrace! Ooh it’s getting cold again! Brr!
