next day walkabout
the bridge built pre wwII that connects two sides of the city by a underriver tunnel. 3 of them. one for pedestrians, one for cars, one for trains.
500m walking one way
we went to the other side to see if the air was fresher there. then walked back. had to go on two of these super long and ancient looking escalators
central train station
south side of Antwerp, lots of old nice buildings
notice the figure of a man on the high balcony, its a permanent display. the red one visits every december
crossroads buildings, 4 similar buildings with plaques of winter, summer, spring and fall on them. they look the same but are decorated differntly. very cool
art nouveau
miseltoe
poor plants in the cellar
shipwrecked on a building.
a ship balcony. either you think its super cool or you think the architect is crazy
nice city and lots of sights.
the main church that also displays paintings
rubens, quite a famous painting, forgot why
olden day comic strip of Christ carrying the cross to calvary
bookshop
outside the church, lending a hand
walking santa band, play and walk and joke
we found this place, €20 seafood all you can eat. The owner probably didnt know how much two skinny asians can consume in an hour. the place is probably closed now. hahaha
the church at night
some city hall thing
the hotel we stayed had super narrow stairs, and we were on the 3rd floor. shiesh.
up up up
some other notable buildings
when you have trash bags and some cardboard, what do you do? why go sledding of course
whole lot of fun on the slope next to the train station.
very slippery trying to walk up the slope
ready?
straight
not so straight
wrong side
a good shove
turning
turned
distracted passerby falls
the only one that could go down straight
cardboard boxes in trash bags
