The short trip to Brussels and Antwerp was a welcome escape from Vienna. Interestingly enough, even though these two cities are very close by, they are also very different. Brussels speaks dominantly French, while in Antwerp we noticed way more Flemish (aka Dutch). Also Antwerp seemed a lot more religious with many religious statues on facades or corners of houses. Brussels enjoys a more profane approach and puts bicycles up. In any case, these are the pictures which didn’t fit in any of the other posts. Please enjoy. Yours, Pollybert
