Auf der Suche nach einem Restaurant haben wir noch viel gefunden: die rote Dame zum Beispiel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On our search for a restaurant we have found a lot of other stuff first: the red lady for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Und wir hatten noch einen Abstecher geplant: Die St.-Bavo-Abtei, eine Ruine ein bisschen abseits vom Trubel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And we had planned one more detour: St. Bavo\u2019s Abbey, ruins a bit off the beaten track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Leider sind sie f\u00fcr Besucher die meiste Zeit geschlossen, wie wir dann erfahren haben ☹. Was man durchlaufen kann: Die \u201egr\u00fcne Kirche\u201c: Von der Abteikirche aus dem 7. Jahrhundert steht nur noch eine Mauer. Davor wurden Hainbuchen an den Stellen gepflanzt, an denen fr\u00fcher S\u00e4ulen standen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately they are closed to the public most of the time, as we then found out ☹. But you can stroll through this: The \u201cgreen church\u201d: Of the old abbey church, built in the 7th<\/sup> century, only one wall remains. In front of that hornbeam trees were planted on those spots where there used to be pillars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Na, dann gehen wir zur\u00fcck ins Zentrum und versuchen es nochmal in der St. Bavo Kathedrale!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh well, then we will walk back to the center and give the St Bavo Cathedral another try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So, dieses Mal d\u00fcrfen wir uns die Kathedrale ansehen. Hier gibt es den ber\u00fchmten Altar von den van Eyck Br\u00fcdern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okay, this time we are allowed to explore the cathedral. The famous altar by the van Eyck brothers is to be found here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Doch nicht vorne im Kirchenschiff. Da sieht es so aus:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But not at the front of the nave. There it looks like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Also haben wir uns umgesehen. Sehr unterschiedliche bunte Fenster haben wir gefunden …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So we took a look around. Very different coloured windows we found \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u2026 Kirsche hat wieder Schlangen entdeckt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

… Kirsche discovered snakes once again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Und ist die Kirche nicht irgendwie sehr rosa?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And doesn\u2019t the church strike you as quite pink?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wir haben dann auch den Durchgang gefunden, wo man zum Genter Altar kommt. Aber: lange Schlange und 16\u20ac Eintritt. Hm …. wie finden wir das?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We then finally found the entrance where you get to the Ghen altarpiece. But: a long line-up and 16\u20ac entrance fee. Hm \u2026 what do we think of that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ja, wir haben uns das Anstehen gespart und sind weitergezogen. Wieder vorbei an der Graffiti-Stra\u00dfe und auch am Belfried. Da haben wir den \u201eMamelokker\u201c entdeckt: Das Relief bezieht sich auf eine alte r\u00f6mische Legende \u00fcber einen Mann, der zum Tod durch Verhungern verurteilt wurde. Doch seine Tochter s\u00e4ugte ihn an ihrer Brust, wodurch er \u00fcberlebte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, we skipped the standing in line and went on. Once again past the graffiti street and also past the belfry. There we discovered the \u201cMamelokker\u201d: The relief refers to an old Roman legend about a  man who was sentenced to death by starvation. But his daughter suckled him at her breast and thus he survived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A propos Essen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talking about eating!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wir haben endlich auch ein Restaurant gefunden, und was f\u00fcr eins! Selbst die Toiletten waren spektakul\u00e4r.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We finally also found a restaurant, and quite a special one! Even the toilets were spectacular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Im Hauptraum viel Jugendstil, im ersten Stock sah es so aus:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the main room lots of Jugendstil, on the first floor it looked like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Wie wir wieder nach drau\u00dfen sind, hat es wieder geregnet. Also sind wir mit Stra\u00dfenbahn und Bus zum Hauptbahnhof gefahren, denn der hat tolle Decken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we went back outside, it was raining again. So with tram and bus we rode to the main station, where there are beautiful ceilings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Auch wenn das au\u00dfer uns niemand interessiert hat 😊<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if nobody else seemed to take notice 😊<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Drau\u00dfen war es nach wie vor nass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outside it was still wet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Also sind wir zur\u00fcck ins Hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So we went back to the hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Unterwegs haben wir uns Waffeln besorgt, und im Zimmer gab es eine kleine Oster\u00fcberraschung!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the way we had grabbed some waffles, and in our room there was a little Easter surprise!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ach so, und ein paar Bierchen haben wir auch besorgt …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, and a few beers we had also bought \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Prost!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
