In previous days.......
From Bruges we headed for Antwerp - on the promise that there would be free(ish) parking in an Aire. Giving over full control to the Sat Nav we headed there and, remarkably, arrived in exactly the right place - which was the Antwerp Expo centre. It was getting on a bit in hours, so I found a place to park and took my shoes off. On the way in we had noticed a smallish hut, but no obvious signs as what to do (at least not in a language that I understood), so we went and parked.
Shortly after I had removed my trainers there was a knock on the door and a man enquired as to whether I was going to come to his place to pay, now. I answered that I would come immediately, and looked for my crocs to put on. I left the van and he had gone. I assume he cycled to me - seeing as I had driven straight past his hut. I found him, paid, gained information on transport into Antwerp and returned to the van.
The site had no toilets or water, but did have chemical toilet emptying facilities and free wifi (odd). The cost for the site was 8 Euros - which wasn't too bad I thought. The surroundings were not too great - but it was fairly quiet and close enough to the centre to catch a tram.
Antwerp itself was interesting - but much like any other large city, except for the 'old town' - which seems to be the case in a lot of these places. Pictures of the 'Old Town'-
Whilst looking through attractions for Antwerp K had seen the Fashion Museum and Printing Museum ads. We had to go there of course - I must admit that the printing museum was good and very interesting, but I don't think that I would go back to the fashion place - it seemed mainly to be a retrospective of the famous fashion designers that had been produced from the Antwerp College.
All set in a rather splendid building. I will publish links to the various things here when I have a better connection.
splendid work..Thanks for sharing
