Sunday June 5 to Antwerp

We picked up some breakfast items to share with Romano, and then road to the cathedral for 11 o'clock mass. Finally on the road at 12:30 under warm and sunny conditions. How's that for a change. El route to Antwerp followed along a bike path on the side of canal the whole way. Once in Antwerp Kama a fairly large industrial city, we made slow progress through the city streets. We tried to use a Garmin GPS but it had us going through circles in neighborhood where we did not feel particularly comfortable. Young man spotted recognize start confusion, cross the street, and got us back on track. Finally reached our B&B comma in a nice neighborhood and immediately next door to a gelato Shop with a bakery on the other side and a small Italian restaurant on that. Who could ask for more.

On the way to Antwerp our path went past a horse enclosure where a man was exercising beautiful silver grey horse over jumps. We spent a few minutes talking to him and he confirmed our impression that the horse was very special. It is now six years old and competes at the highest level internationally.
