Antwerp…. where do I start? As we researched this campsite prior to arrival, we found that we would need to pay a fee as we were going to enter the emmission zone. When we arrived the facilities were basic and the campsite had a slightly run down fee to it, but this was quite probably to do with the gloomy conditions we arrived under. Slightly overcast and damp. However, conditions improved, and we fell in love with this location as you will see.
On day two of our stay we headed out on the bikes and explored a local forest pathway. From there we became a little more adventurous and used free ferries from our camp site ‘City Camping Antwerp’, to get across the river Scheldt. And also the free tunnel, who’s 32meter depth is either traversed by an escalator, or a large lift.
On our second full day, we decided to cross river again, and skirt the city on bikes to visit the Antwerp Zoo. From what we had read, and seen online, it looked like a worth while trip. The weather was great, and this became one of the best decissions we made. These things don’t tend to appear cheap when considering buying a ticket, but it was well worth the money, and a real jewel in the crown of the city of Antwerp.
