X-mas in Antwerp , The city the people the atmosphere

In the following pics I want to share some of the x-mas atmophere in my home town , CHEERS

the catedral and the x-mas tree , a yearly present of the country Norway

The x-mas stable 

a view after closure 9pm on weekdays 11pm Friday and Saturday

 

City hall after closure but a better view

 

the center of city hall , nicely lit 

 

standing by city hall , a xmas tree and the Cathedral of course

 

The stands where people can buy a shot of all kinds of gin @ 2 euro a shot 

as you can see the gin comes in all flavours choclate vanilla , cactus, amaretto, pears , apple , sour apple, young gin …20% ABV , old gin 40% gin , once you start you are already lost ,but just don’t know yet ….

all kinds of chocolate to take home , Scoring good points at the home front is very IMPORTANT specially around x-mas , …..Belgian chocolate can even influence the meanest mother-in-law. 

 

  

A classic Gueze “drie fonteinen ” to set your stomach back in a beer bar ; het patersvaatje

and back home ( for me a fifty yard walk

  

a last view at my cathedral en home where other goodies were waiting for me
