Meeting up in the rain
The Belgium Ambassador

After exploring Antwerp with our VT daughter we went to the Groenplaats at 4PM to meet the VT crowd at the local "frietkot".

Ms. Antwerpen

As usual nobody was there, but some yelling from a nearby terras made it clear where the VT hide-out was.
The presence of Hansi attracted water again, so we were caught by a short rain shower.

Mr. Antwerpen

How can you miss Rudy when you are in Antwerp? NOT.
Just before we reached the dinner location he popped up from a side street.

More friends

Meeting some new friends always add to the good atmosphere.

More friends

As usual Hans was at the center of action.

At your service!

It is obvious Lori suffers from a lack of attention by buddy Hans.
So, she starts flirtations with local young waiters.

Fun (and goodbye)

Wow, days of fun with friends come fast to an end.

We dropped off Nathalie on our way back; for the very last time at her Breda spot.
She was going to return to Israel that Sunday.

Go to the next meeting: Maastricht revisited
