Good Morning Luxembourg ~ and Goodbye too~ Coz im leaving to Belgium!
After 3 weeks of travelling around, we are so used to wake up early in the morning for breakfast, and get ready to move!
Had our breakfast in our hotel, check out and leave~
here we are again in Luxembourg train station, heading towards belgium!
so many things to carry with us!! and need to be extra careful for the thief too!
this is a short 3 hours train ride from Luxembourg to Brussels, and then another 45min from Brussels to Antwerp~
Arrived in Antwerp Central Station, this is the most beautiful train station i've ever seen, so beautiful that its been awarded the 2nd most beautiful station in the world and the local feel unfair about that they should have be at the 1st place instead!
this is the central hall when we arrived, me and SJ both goes "WOW" when we are coming up from the escalator!
this is the building view from the outside
it took us about 10min to locate our hotel, its already evening when we finally drop all our luggages, both of us get SO hungry! lucky there is full of restaurant along the main streets, we just simply pick one for dinner~
having italian food again!
pizza~
we had no idea why but most of the place we went, they are mostly serving italian food instead of their local one...
again feeling super tired after travelling for the whole day, and most of the shops is close after we finish our dinner, we got no where to go, and since our hotel is located right opposite a cinema, we went for movie!!
Pirate of the Caribbean 4! and i did blog about it here after finish watching it!
so this is our first night in Antwerp!
2nd day morning~ we got no breakfast provided in our hotel, so guess what! we head back to the central station for chocolate waffles!
SJ's waffle with belgium Chocolate as topping~! YUM!
okay i remember the last time i had this is when im visiting Shanghai for the World Expo here, i tasted this in belgium Pavilion!
this is mine with Strawberries and cream!
a shot outside the central station
nice view~ there is actually alot of jewelry shops selling DIAMONDS!! coz Antwerp is a famous place for diamonds trading and cutting! so you can find lots of diamonds jewelry with cheaper price compare to other places, but be careful coz there is lots of tourist trap in here too!!
me and SJ happen to walk into small shops located right outside the train station, they are selling the 1 carat diamond rings with just 4000 euro, we both got shock, and slowly we ask for more information, they owner lady starting to cut the price, say if we are buying it today, we can get it at 3000, me and SJ got freak out and ready to leave, but she still try to convince us to buy it and give us a price of 2000 euro... MAN ITS NOT POSSIBLE for a carat diamonds for 2000 euros OKAY?!
we faster run out and leave!
next stop, we visited the diamonds museum, the 2nd famous just after the one in Amsterdam by Coster Diamonds which we visited earlier~
deposited our bags and belonging into the locker, we are not allowed to take any photos in it, so just grab our audio guide and start admiring some diamonds!
we spend about 2 hours in the diamond museum, then we started to tour around the city~
had our lunch in a nice restaurant in the city area
me during lunch~
with SJ
and here our food is served!
my first time eating these kind of pasta
and SJ's meal..
enjoy our lunch~
finish eating, we continue walking~ thanks for a map on hand, we found this Antwerp Hand!
so huge!
and the Cathedral~
love the building design!
and saw lots of cute souvenir ~
The Statue of Brabo!
love this!
tired walking, me and SJ sit down at at small cafe along the street for some rest~
and ordered some wine to reward ourself~
what a great moment! this is how life should be!
we've walked so far and now time to head back when its getting late~
dinner time, we go for one of the famous fast food chain in here, The Quick burger!! is so nice to eat it taste better then McD and burger king! well ya im not really a big fan of fast food, but when your budget is tight, you got no choice but go for this!! swt~**
We just make a short 2 nights stop here in Antwerp, and after spending these much of time here, im already kinda like this place, and this is on the top of the list if im going to re-visiting again! ^^
~*LOVE*~
