Saturday Afternoon inBelgium

| Index | Friday | Saturday Afternoon | Saturday Evening | Sunday |



10:01 - Saturday morning, just after waking up, and here's a view from our hotel window.


10:01 - ...and the other way.


10:36 - We were meeting outside the chirstmas party 1999 venue for the day trip to Antwerp.


11:48 - On the coach to Antwerp. Erm.


11:53 - Yep, errr, Chie walking down the coach.


11:53 - A table's eye view. Erm.


11:54 - Ok so we were bored, alright?


12:21 - The coach park in Antwerp.


12:22 - Walking into the centre...


12:23 - Russ attempting to work out where the nearest bar is.


12:35 - One of the squares in Antwerp, sorry, no idea what it was called.


12:35 - Nice touristy picture. Great!


12:35 - Whatever this building is, it must be important.


12:36 - Yep nice statue.


12:37 - Rather pleased with this one.


12:37 - Errrr might this be part of Antwerp Cathedral?


12:37 - Look! Japanese tourists!


12:40 - That building again.


13:07 - Aha! Time for Lunch! Shamefully, we chose this restaurant because it had menus in English.


13:07 - John enjoying a beer whilst waiting for lunch to arrive.


13:12 - Chie's eel in herb sauce - apparently very nice,


13:12 - John's "vegetarische platte" - this was extremely nice.


13:54 - Here's a picture of the restaurant from the outside - strongly recommended if you're ever in Antwerp!


14:19 - The sinister pervasiveness of Tupperware.


14:33 - That bloody South American band, I'm sure they are following me around.


14:42 - Ermmm... can't really remember what I was taking a picture of here.


14:43 - I think right down the end there is the station.


14:44 - A map of Antwerp, just in case we got lost.


14:54 - I think this is a lost cat advert.


15:18 - A view across another square in the rain.


15:20 - Chie shelters from the rain.


15:20 - Umbrellas are definitely called for.


15:29 - I think this must be the cathedral.


15:31 - ...and yes, it was still raining.


15:33 - This dog appeared to be the manager of this shop.


15:39 - I took this picture on the highest resolution setting to see how much detail I could get in... Might take a while to download.


15:40 - To confirm any suspicions that we weren't actually in Antwerp.


15:45 - This would be a very poor impression of a lion then.


15:46 - A kind of bridge thing.


15:47 - Nice views across the river to be had.


15:47 - Yep.


15:47 - Erm.


15:49 - Not sure what this statue was supposed to be of, but still.


15:53 - Thanks sweetheart.


15:53 - More reassuring Antwerp signs.


15:55 - There's our coach look! Nearly time to head back.


15:56 - Just before getting back on the coach.


16:06 - The ring Chie bought in one of the many jewellery shops in Antwerp (don't worry - it's not diamonds!).


18:07 - Back in Brugges now, on the way back to the hotel.


18:10 - Ermmm...


18:17 - In the lift in the hotel.


18:17 - Well I thought this was quite a clever idea anyway.
