Antwerp

Another easy journey- perhaps we should have been more ambitious, but it's good to be able to spend a decent amount of time in a new city.
Antwerp grows on one more gradually than with the other cities we have visited on this trip. It is worth giving a bit of time to get to know it. Lots of nice bars and restaurants towards the cathedral.
As a nod to my printing past we visited the Plantin museum. Even if you have no interest in print, it's worth a visit for the interiors and the atmosphere of a prosperous town house in the 17th and 18th centuries.
This is our last night abroad. Tomorrow we head for Calais and home.
