Enjoying the spring break

The schools are closed for a week, and thus a lot of teachers and other staff working there are off to other parts. Most of them chose to go skiing or look for the sun. The Middle East has become popular.

As my sister is still working as administrator for a group of schools, she also enjoys this break. So we decided to first head to Antwerp, to see a show there (Best of Musicals in Concert). At the same time, we enjoyed our gold membership status at the Hilton Antwerp. We reached gold in January, but this is our first trip of the year. Must say, I'd rather enjoy the luxury and all the little extra's you get as elite member. Like when we returned to our room that Friday night, and found two special beers and a box of Belgian chocolates...

From Antwerp we took a train to Brussels, where we boarded the Eurostar to London. We stayed for three days there. We went to see Michael Bolton's concert at the Palladium on Monday night. He performed with the BBC Concert Orchestra, and it really was a great show.

Also took the time do do some shopping and enjoy fine dining.

Now we're at the coast, where we are spending the remaining days of the break. The weather isn't worth much, though. Lots of wind, rain and only a rare ray of sunshine. Well, you can't have it all!
