April 16- Antwerp, Belgium
I arrive to Antwerp in the early afternoon by train from Brugge. What a cute little town :) I walked and walked and walked & never got bored :) I took a stroll by the riverside where i stumbled across an old castle which will now be converted to a maritime museum. But to top off my day, my week, my year…. I visited the Plantin-Moretus Museum.. “An old building which housed a 16th century print house.Has all of the originalhouse the two oldest surviving printing presses in the world and complete sets of dies and matrices, it also has an extensive library, a richly decorated interior and the entire archives of the Plantin business.”.. At the end of a lovely day my host Stefan picked me up who was wonderful! We went to a grocery store picked up some veggies and couscous & went back to his place to cook. We had dinner with some awesome rioja & then headed off to a couch surfing meet up & then to a jazzfusion show they were great :) On the way to the CS meet up Stefan showed me some underground bars how they were built in the old day, several bars underground set up in a tunner and you can go from one to the next.
