Staying at Youth Hostel in Antwerp. Everything is close by. Went to the Cathedral. Some very nice and huge paintings including those of Rubens. Also went to the Steen (Kind of castle). And into the .9km tunnel exclusively for walkers and bicycles under the Schelde river. Very impressive. Went to the central Antwerp Train station. Very beautiful one. Nearby was the Diamond museum - India seems to have discovered diamonds (so I gleaned). A very interesting demo was given by a diamond cutter/polisher. Unfortunately camera was not allowed. Also walked in the diamond trade district - lots of Jewish and Indian businessman walking around in fancy suites. Most of the Indians appeared to speak Gujarati (one of the many Indian languages). pictures will follow soon....
