The best thing about exploring new places is that one is technically never lost, simply because every turn is an exciting find 🙂 Oftentimes in discovering a place (in this case, Antwerp) we would be led down one street, and the next, and the next, by nothing more than a sense of wonder and an insatiable curiosity. And it usually started off by seeing something small but interesting…
…like a lamp post overflowing with pretty flowers. Which led us down a street in the Old Town…
…into a Palace on the Meir where we found some deliciously irreverent chocolates at The Chocolate Line…
…before heading into the direction of a side street lined with antique shops that ended in a weekend flea market…
…that eventually popped us out onto the beautiful medieval square of the Grote Markt…
…then led us around a side street of Antwerp Cathedral to find this charming brass sculpture of men building the cathedral…
…then down another street to pop into a store of hand made Belgian lace…
…before coming across a colorful and eye-catching driveway…
…that turned out to be the home of an artist who had opened his gallery for viewing…
…which took us down to the cellar and out to a space filled with amazing paintings…
…then back out on the street. Don’t you find that it’s always exciting to find out what lies just around the corner?
