Antwerpen

Highlights included, the Museum of Contemporary Art - not normally a fan but this was, to me, contemporary art at its dicursive best. The national gallery and its collections of Rubens, Van Dyke and Magritte (on different floors). Dinners at Fiskebar where the swordfish was utterly sublime and Yohji Yamamoto's flagship store which reminded me of the extreme beauty of simplicity.

Below are selected snapshots of the fun we had including, but not limited to, the Bed and Breakfast where we stayed whose Dutch name was "Bed, Bad & Brood", an allegedly 400kg chocolate elephant and the famous cathedral.

Autumn in Paris (DMH Guest post)

Well it has begun. Just as Parisians leave the city in summer, the leaves do the same in winter.

With Alice working long days the adventuring and blogging has fallen to moi, and thus the delays in posting. We are of course on the downhill slide back to Oz, with our final journey all booked and planned to the last detail.




The days are getting cooler and the streets becoming tourist free, perhaps it is now time to visit more museums. Until then, please enjoy the turning leaves, I'll take more snaps as the situation progresses.
