Pam flew in from Austria last night and we're off wandering in the city today.
She's curious about the Antwerpen's diamond district and I've only been there on a Sunday when all is quiet. Seems like a nice kind thing to do with a day.
I'll let you know.
Diamonds go with everything. Hope you both have a lovely time.
ReplyDeleteWe did thank you :)
ReplyDeleteHopefully you'll pop by one day soon.
Interesting, got photos?
ReplyDeleteHi Belle ... no photos because the diamond area is the strangest area of Antwerp. It's kind of ugly.
ReplyDeleteIn the actual trading area there's nothing to see ... just men in suits, Jewish, Indian and others and one gets the impression they wouldn't be amused by a camera following their every move.
We saw one serious security guard standing guard, and perhaps one briefcase handcuffed to a wrist, then a lot of grey block buildings without any redeeming features ... secure not pretty.
We missed out the diamond museum because the day was too nice to be inside ... Pam did take a good photographs of the Jewish restuarant we had lunch in.
