Shopping in Knokke

 When we go shopping, we mostly go to Knokke (or Antwerp). This is a remainder from our childhood. Our grandmother was born in Antwerp, and for her there was only one place: the 'city'. Moreover, in the big town you found things you couldn't buy in Dendermonde. 

As we are now staying at the coast, Knokke is excellent for shopping. You find all the same shops there as in Antwerp, and it's only 5 minutes by tram from Heist. As of lately, I am the owner of the Omni pass, which allows me to travel on whatever bus, metro or tram for a annual fee of about 50 €. You have to be 65 to get one. When I purchased the pass, there was also a promotion that gave away a 10 free rides card. That one my sister can use (she has to wait a couple of years before you can get her Omni pass).

Let's hope it's not going to rain this afternoon. Our weather has been nothing great for the last two weeks. This is not going to be a good summer. Only one week of sunny weather, so far. And then the big inundations in Wallony and the fires in the south of Europe... The weather is going crazy!
