We just got back from Antwerp. We went just to meet some friends for lunch but one adventure leads to another and now it's almost 7pm! It started with a simple drive through the ports and harbour areas to look for big container ships, but we didn't see much activity, probably because it's Sunday. At one point, we stopped by a bridge that was drawn up and looked at some of the smaller river barges drifting by. We decided to head home and we were just about to turn onto the motorway when we saw an old windmill. So we went further to take a picture and as we went further, we noticed hundreds of cars parked along the road as far as the eye can see. We needed to investigate. We parked just in time to see huge draught horses being loaded onto trucks. They are truly impressive and frightening beasts. We finally found a festival of some kind and the crowds enjoying food and drink and brass bands. We asked what the occasion was and discovered that it's part of old tradition where riders charge their massive mounts down a narrow path where a (live ?) goose is suspended from a pole high above. Apparently the winner can pull the goose down the quickest! They boys were sorry they missed the show but they sure enjoyed the party atmosphere.
