This year, we've been visiting the town of Antwerp more than once - one of the effects of corona and not being able to travel to a lot of other places.
As always, we stayed at the Hilton in the town center - they are beginning to know us there. Everything fine, as usual.
And also like the weekends before, the weather co-operated and was fine for the time of year. We went shopping on Saturday morning (got myself a nice new woollen dress) and had lunch. In the afternoon, we made a walk and afterwards sat on a terrace sipping from our apérol spritz. Had a nice conversation there with a couple next to our table.
In the evening, we attended a musical dinner show in Studio Zuid (the part of Antwerp where a century ago the poor folk used to live, but now it's very exclusive). The show being performed was The Bodyguard, and it was a decent production.
The food was okay too, we've experienced worse. Some apetizers, a Thai chicken soup, salmon in a jacket of herbs and at last dessert: chocolate mousse by famed chocolatier Dominic Persoone.
In December, we'll go to a sortlike event. That time they're doing Jesus Christ Superstar.
So we had a relaxed weekend once more and that's just a fine as having a holiday in a far-away destination!
