Early morning, I am going for a walk on the Viktualienmarkt on my way to work. It's very cold but surprisingly no snow, which is exceptional this time of the year. The viktualienmarkt is a market place where they sell food products like: fruit, cheese, meat, fish, vegetables, wild products... The name Vitualien comes from "lebensmitteln" or food products. This is a very nice place to visit during spring and summer where you can enjoy a beer on a terrace or a freshly squeezed juice. In the background you see the church of the Holy Spirit (St. Peter)....

When driving around in The Netherlands and looking for something to eat, keep an eye on the Toucan. This bird is the symbol of the Hotel chain Van der Valk. Most of these hotels have a restaurant that serves good quality food at reasonable prices. All the hotels are located near highway exits. On Sunday we enjoyed the lunch in Nootdorp. We were surprised that the fried Tiger prawn starter in combination with a prawn Carpaccio was absolutely excellent. The beef Carpaccio was also very good. All restaurants have a high capacity. I can only recommend...

We were invited to Zeebrugge by friends we met in Japan. For us this was the first time we visited this harbour. It was a cold day but sunny enough to go for a walk with the group. Zeebrugge harbour is very efficient in container handling. The container ship you see on the picture is the Hatsu of 300m long which holds 7.000 containers.We waren uitgenodigd in Zeebrugge door vrienden die we ontmoet hebben in Japan. Het was de eerste keer dat we de haven van Zeebrugge bezochten. Het was koud die dag, maar toch was er genoeg zon voor een wandeling...

Most of the existing buddings have been collapsed because of the ash and subsequent effect of acid.Rabaul township was first developed by the Germans. German Flag was raised at Matupit Island on 3rd Nov 1884, but the capital was in Kokopo. After they found that Kokopo does not have deep port to cater for...

Located on "Astridplein" in Antwerp you find the historical entrance of Antwerp's central station. This station is very special because of the eclectic building style. This style is a combination of historical treasures and modern elements. The trains enter and leave the station on three floors. The present meets the past via a steel roofing that covers the platforms. The roofing is 186m long and 43m high. This is the most interesting train station I have ever seen.Op het Astridplein in Antwerpen vind je de historische ingang van het centraal...
