Port of Antwerp

Gert showed me around the port of Antwerp this morning; a four hour tour. He showed me the control rooms and offices of people,like him, control the locks, bridges and flow of ships in and out of the port of Antwerp, which dwarfs the city of Antwerp. Quite a lot going in to maintaining the movement of ships and what it takes to keep waterways open and docks full for loading and unloading. Followed by lunch at a fantastic place most often frequented by port of Antwerp workers from all walks of life.

I met Jasper as he was cleaning out the camper van and relaxed once accommodations were in order in Madrid. It's been a great short trip to Belgium. As always I hope to be back sooner than later.Read more
