Much to our surprise, Antwerp was very busy and lively. Our late night Italian restaurant was quick and good, unfortunately not like the live entertainment in front of the cathedral that I incorrectly identified as a rather well oiled Karaoke singer. The Hilton is situated right in the middle of the action (but be prepared for a long walk to the rooms).An early start, some last minute photos, a fuel (and bug removal) stop and the car's SatNav writing cheques Russ's right foot simply could not cash, we just missed the 09:20 Eurotunnel and had to wait for next an hour later. A DVD helped us not notice the 35 minute trip under the water and the journey on to King's Cross was not too bad either. I'm currently on the 12:00 National Express service, expected to arrive in Doncaster at 13:39.
Looking back on our week, we're both determined to return to Norway and to see more of its beautiful scenery, especially to the north of where we reached on this trip. It was a pleasure for me to meet Jens and I'm sure he can point me to some equally interesting places to find in Sweden (Jens, I'm not joking!).Of course, as usual, we did enjoy the place names we came across. Fister, Åsbø (near Gangstø) and Baksidevegen in Norway along with Båstad and the Asia Kock Restaurang in Sweden were all worthy entries. Wankum in Germany was pretty good too but the award for the town that caused most amusement goes back to Norway and Søre Våge - we chose not to visit. :-)
