🍟 Belgian Fries NOT French Fries in Antwerp, Belgium 🇧🇪

Date: 07/04/2018

We are staying in Antwerp, Belgium on a housesit for a week and it has been named one of Lonely Planet's top 10 cities for Best In Travel 2018. We were staying around 20 minutes walk from the centre of town so we headed down to the square today for an explore and to eat some fries. Of course!  In the main square there is a statue of local hero, Brabo. The story goes that long ago there was a giant named Antigoon who stopped all boatmen on the Scheldt River to demand a toll. Anyone who resisted had their hand cut off and thrown in the river. A young man named Brabo killed Antigoon and cut off his hand and threw it in the river. This is how Antwerp got its name. In Dutch it's called Antwerpen from 'hand werpen' which means hand throw. We noticed them setting a stage up in the main square which we realised later was for the start of the Tour of Flanders which I'd never heard of before but apparently is one of the big events in the cycling calendar. We then strolled along to Het Steen which is the oldest building in Antwerp - a castle along the river.

WHO AM I?
I am a single mum to a 13 year boy from England. In 2017 I sold most of our things, we quit our job and school and set off on an adventure of a lifetime to South East Asia.  I am passionate about travel, adventure, compassionate living, creating your dream life and health. After over a year of full time travel my son decided he wanted to attend public school back in the UK so our full time travel adventure came to an end and we settled back into life in cold, rainy England. I LOVE making YouTube videos so make sure you subscribe and join me on this crazy, beautiful journey of life.
