My first time in Berlin dates from May 2015. Until now it’s even my only time. I know it’s odd. The capital of Germany is a centre of history, culture, clubbing, gay culture. Berlin is a modern, quirky city with a reputation for being hip and trendy. While Danny and I plan to visit Berlin…

What to expect from Antwerp Pride 2021 amidst coronavirus countermeasures?

Antwerp Pride 2021 ‘Trail of Stories’ route and featured people
Antwerp Pride has revealed the route and the featured portraits of this year’s ‘Trail of Stories‘. The trail will be visible in Antwerp from 1 tot 31 August. The trail is an alternative to the pride parade, which just not a good idea during the pandemic.

Until 9 January 2022 you can visit the ‘Napoleon, Beyond The Myth‘ exhibition at Liège-Guillemins Railway Station. Thijs and I visited in June.
Five days and four nights in Munich, including Neuschwanstein

Castell Bellver overlooking Palma de Mallorca
May 2021. The Belgian government lifted the ban on leisure travel in April, but strict travel rules limited options. As the Balearic Islands – lles Balears or Islas Baleares – were a yellow zone, we booked flights and a hotel in Palma de Mallorca.
