Advantages: Luxurious, accomodating and friendly staff, family friendly, excellent location Disadvantages: High chair was too trendy for our baby
After a very busy first year of marriage, without any kind of holiday (terrorists decided that the day we were meant to go for our honeymoon was the perfect day to cause worldwide mayhem). We decided that we really needed to go away at least for a few days on a short city break and decided on Antwerp as a good destination.
Reasons being:
We could go on the Eurostar (thereby no popping ears for our baby - aged 7 months at the time)
It is reasonably close to London
There are Jewish facilities (synagogues for regular prayers, kosher restaurants to eat in)

Construction began in 1959 after a Danish architect Jorn Utzon won an international design competition for the $7 million building. In 1966 Utzon quit after political interference leaving Australian architects to design the interior costing $102million. He has never seen the building completed. Utzon who is now in his eighties has announced to refurbish the interior and he has high hopes that it will be full of colour rather than a black hole. His son comes to Australia to oversee any developments. It was finally was completed against all odds and after several disagreements in 1973. It now is one ...
