If you haven't seen the updated descriptions of the photos posted previously, see the previous post!

Antwerp! Went for a bit of a cruise today. Planned on doing 2 museums - Fashion and MAS - and some shopping (The "Antwerp 6" are so our style (if you know who they are, go buy yourself a cookie!)). However, turns out almost all the shops were closed! So here are some pics of the shops that were open, and of the museums, and that's about all we did today. 


Rude!

Breakfast 1: Scrambled eggs at the hostel (no photo, sorry!)

Breakfast 2: Pastries at this absolutely packed bakery.

Breakfast 3: Croissants and french bread at the cutest french cafe you'll ever see.

Gotta love flying chariots!!

This is a corset for a pregnant woman!

This is a "Crossword puzzle" masquerade dress!

Here is MAS - 10 floors, 8 different exhibitions, and a really really good view at the roof.

"Talking" - more like "Creepy"

Hey Scott! We found you a new jaw, no need for that op anymore! This came with no back story at all. Just "Lower mandible from the 16th century". Yeah, right! 

Duuuuuuuuuuude.

Exhibition about all the trade - some seriously cool boats here dad.


There was a whole exhibition on life & death - it was incredible. Some amazing stuff about the way different cultures handle death, and the afterlife. Most tribes are absolutely bats when it comes to this stuff... 

At the top there was a view over the whole of Antwerp - it's huge!

Damn we need more sleep!!


That's all that happened that was both interesting and able to be photographed today. We also missed our bus stop (we were leaving the city before a guy next to us pointed that out...) and had some nice chinese food.

Checking our tomorrow - late check out so we can see all the shops that were closed today - then on to Bruges!
