Day 4 - Amsterdam to Antwerp

We began day 4 with a quick exploration of Queensday Amsterdam. It's like a giant block party yard sale. Every bit of sidewalk was taken up by someone selling their junk, food, playing music, or   games.

We packed up our suitcases and took a "quick" drive through Rotterdam, where they were also celebrating Queensday.
An infamous oddity of Rotterdam. People either love or hate this statue.
The Cube Houses are a famous architectural feat in downtown Rotterdam
After Rotterdam was Kinderdijk, famous for its beautiful windmills.


"Come Rocinantes! We must slay the giants!"

And then on to Baarle-Nassau, a region with screwed up borders between Belgium and the Netherlands... each block is in a different country!

 Finally we Antwerped. We met up with our lovely hosts and speedily set out for food and beer. After dinner, we went to Kulminator, one of the best bars in the world.

Westvleteren 12, the best beer in the world, and one of the most difficult beers to acquire. Worth it.
We made some new friends. Tom, left, translated for us. Derrick, owner of Kulminator, supplied us with multiple free drinks, including a beer he had aged since 1985.
