Back from Antwerp

What a fabulous visit. We met out coach at Dover and then boarded the ferry with all the Erewash crowd. Shelia, our party organiser, got us through customs in record time and even managed to persuade the officials to let the coach on before most of the other vehicles because we needed to be near a lift for several of our "less mobile" travellers . After a perfect crossing we docked at Calais and headed for Antwerp. All went well until we arrived only to find most of the roads shut because of the Tall Ships. We got well and truly lost. Luckily Shelia found a very nice Police man who directed us to the hotel. After unpacking we made our way to the harbour to view the Ships. Here is one of the Tall ships as it made for the harbour. I have started another Blog to show pictures of our travels away from the boat. Go to http://nbfreespirit2.blogspot.com/ and click on jameison afloat2 if you would like to see them. More photos of the ships, Brugge and London on that blog.
