We've returned home to the Seattle area as of August 2008, what an experience we've had! Please contact us via the links on this page with any questions or comments you may have.

The Winnebago Sightseer 35J has been sold to a lovely Scottish couple, so it will continue its adventures in Europe.

Ahoy There!

Getting to town was interesting today - the trams and buses were beyond full to accomodate the Antwerp marathon (25km or 10mi - and no, neither Dan nor I are fit enough to participate at this point). The experience was akin to riding the subway in Paris at rush hour only there were no subway staff to shove people in.

After a bit of wandering, we found our way to "PiratenEiland" for a day of play and terrible food. The kids loved it - an indoor playground that spans several rooms and three levels. Dominated by ball pits and slides, the pirate themed park lacked only in quality food.

The girls giggled, laughed, ran, jumped ...and no one told them to be quiet! Fun!

Price is 9,50 EURO on weekends (7 EURO on most weekdays) per child (adults are free). For food and beverages, you have to exchange cash for their tokens - which are non-refundable. Everything is a la carte and averages 1 token (2 EURO). The food is nowhere near great (think ballpark dog on a dry bun), but the price was worth it to see the kids having so much fun. Even Dan got into the spirit and rough housed with the girls in one of the ball pits and made sure Sophia went down the big slides (together, of course).
Ship wreck!
