17: Traffic Jam

Tuesday, May 11, 2010.

Day started off with a trip to the JUMBO supermarket, and saw the huge cheese section of the supermarket. The dutch also love their breads! The plan for today; BELGIUM.

Quick drive over to Antwrep and the Diamond museum! WOW! That is all I can say. They are huge. The city of Antwrep is huge but the buildings are old and dirty. Made our way to Brussels. Saw the Expo 58 site, and the huge Iron molecular model that was a great symbol for the expo. Visiting the expo sit reminded me of how great it would be to jetset to Shanghai for the World Expo 2010.
I was not very impressed by Brussels or the expo site…. The royal courtyard was great, but nothing was WOW. The traffic is horrible! But I was able to see the national symbol of Beligum/Brussels.
Then we were stuck in traffic for 4 hours. Last day meant, more sushi goodness! Quick sleep then to Schipol to catch the 7:20am flight into London.
