We stayed at this absolutely wonderful hostel (AB Hostel). Finally, a small friendly place that was very clean. Most of us there ended up in the living area chatting away at night. Even the owners hung out with us.
It rained the afternoon we arrived so we took refuge in the mall. Amie was mysteriously drawn to the colouring books and pencil crayons...again...then she realized how silly it may look to see a backpacker contently colouring between the lines while waiting for the train or in the lobby of a hostel :D

The next day (our full day there) it was the 50th anniversary of the Tall Ship Festival where they race around Europe and end here in Antwerp. there were so many huge wooden ships with three tall mast. It was a weekend of many happenings. Artists were set up along one street. The antique market was down another, mussels and chip places lined the harbour and people with their dogs (or children) were everywhere. mmm...chips and mayo...artery clogging goodness...
