A visit to see Ruth and Andreas

We went up to Krefeld, near Duesseldorf by train the other week to have our yearly visit with good friends Ruth and Andreas. Ruth had asked if there was anything we would especially like to do! As they live so close to the Netherlands border (about 27 km's) we asked if we could have a trip to Antwerp, Belgium. Ruth lived and worked there for a short while. It was a 2 hour drive and we had a wonderful day together. Pictures to prove it!

Belgium Beer !

Australian Ice Cream ! (not sure about this!)

We had dinner near this lovely part of town - so yummy

Sorry you can't have a taste, but this is Belgium chocolate!

Gaynor said...: My question exactly Pam!! It should be ice cream made with milk from Australian cows! Like that is going to happen in Belgium. And I'm sure they wouldn't import ice-cream all the way from Oz, or would they?!!
Nice to hear from you.; 7 July 2009 at 14:22
