High Way!
The Highway! speed highway.. there were 6 lanes, with 3 lane in each side without any U turn. So cruise at whatever speed you want as long as you are in your control.
Posing with BMW
Me posing with my friend's rented BMW!! in front of my office at Frankfurt. Just few mins before we start Belgium. We started Early morning at around 7.30AM
Break..!
On the way to Belgium we stopped in between for a little break just out of highway. The place was quite cool and attractive.
Speedoooooo!
See the speedometer of the car. It was taken on the way to reflect the normal speed in the highway. Its showing 160Kmph. We even reached up to 200Kmph sometimes.
BMW Class 3
The one which we used to go to Belgium. A tribute to the car, which covered the 400Kms in just 3 1/2 hours.. at a max speed of 200Km/h.. See the numbering system... you can use ur own number as long as its unique with some small rules.
Temple..?
One of the temple like building on the way. Precisely in the antwerpen city itself. But we dint go there. This was the place where we got confused with some traffic signal and we stopped our car on the train track(city train). We were just behind the track. And the people going on the way were saying something to us and we dint understand what they are saying just few seconds before the train come we went in to the middle of the track..!! we somehow saw the train.!! about to hit!! Accelerated at once to jump out of the track..! we survived.. Everyone was so scared that even in the dreams we use to get that tramp.. !
Man or statue.?
There was a guy, must be begging. He was dressed himself like one of the statues there. He was posing with the tourists and use to get some money. New way of begging by giving some kind of entertainment.
Cathedral church
The slant view of the cathedral church to show the height of it. Still, I could not cover the full.
Cruel Governor's Story!
The building at the city center decorated with the flags. I have no Idea what they signify. But I could not find the Indian flag there. In the center you can see a statue of a fellow throwing a cut hand(if u see carefully). It was a story back to centuries, when there was a cruel governor and finally one brave fellow cut his hand and threw it away. So he is remembered with this statue.
Pigeon and the King
The Statue of a king in the city center of the Antwerpen. A pigeon sitting on his head..

White Horse
This horse does not look as strong as the one you are going to see in the next pic.. But the special attraction comes from its color.
Simple yet so Attractive..
This building looks to be as usual, seems to be one of many buildings in Europe. But If you can see it clearly, u can see the attractive, beautiful art in it. They represent the old culture and the life style..
Horse Power..!
The powerful horses at Antwerpen city near the church.. I have seen some horses before, but they made a great impression in my mind. Such a strong and masculine. The measure of power in terms of Horse power is really worth it..!!
Castle, Antwerpen
One of the old and must see castle in antwerpen. This has the classical Belgium architecture. Scott is posing like the statue in the pic.. lots of people seeing our crazy act..!!
Me Posing as in statue..
Me posing as in statue, Satya waiting for his turn to take the picture..! and GV already finished..!
River side, Antwerpen
River side of antwerpen, next to the castle.. not much of crowd and not much to see here.. except that the river is very wide and at the night the scene is awesome..!
Jesus inside the Castle..!
This is one of the very old architecture, Inside the castle there is lot of things to see, if you are very much interested to see the old architecture. For a architecture student this might be something equal to gold. so much things to see...!!

Reflecting Nature..!
The reflection of the scenery in the pond. .. so lively.. So calm.. the nature asking you to be quite and silent to make your soul happy !! Let the soul enjoy and let it relax.. let it spend some time outside this busy world...
The Silence
The park is so big, and so many visitors and so silent... may be they are cultured..!! I don't say we are not ! The pond is so silent, so clean. you will never feel like coming back. All were taking rest, sleeping on the bench put up near the pond. I was the only one wandering around and taking pics.!! still energetic..!
Posing near the lake
This one was captured with great difficulty..! Me and Satya were struggling a lot. Because of the bright background we were getting dark pic of ours..!! so we took lot of pics and finally this one came lil ok..!! This is one of the biggest park in antwerpen!!

Church, Colon
The mighty church in Colon. The view is amazing, such huge church I had never seen in my life. I really appreciate the beauty of it. Awesome one!
In front the big church in colon
This one was taken in front of the big church in colon, We came to colon at around 8PM that day from antwerpen. See how sunny Europe is at 8PM!!!!
Highway Cross Bridge
This is one of the cross bridge on the way back from Belgium. They don't have the concept of U turn in super-speed Highways connecting the cities across countries. All they have is Exits and Entries from the Highway. When you miss an exit by any chance then only way to come back is to take the next exit and join the reverse lane using such cross bridges.!
