All cities are not created equal. Antwerpen (Anvers to the rest of Belgium) for example, is full of chain stores, rain, wind and has a maritime museum which is excitingly inside a castle/fort and was... closed. Oh well. I did get a chocolate with my hot chocolate. And it does have a nice river and a very old zoo, with mosaic advertising of course.
Oh, and it has a WAY cool railway station...
FYI I woke up in the morning and decided to go to Antwerp, as you do. Spent the evening making scones, speaking German with Joan's French teacher and English with the landlady's granddaughter at a make-up selling party. As you do.
(In spite of the apparent sunshine in the last photo, it was the only bright spot in the day so my peanut butter sandwiches wouldn't go soggy (thanks God!). Christchurch would have been proud to call it a southerly.)
