On Sunday we drove to visit
Bokrijk, an open-air museum in eastern Belgium. There are over 120 historic buildings from all over Belgium reassembled to give visitors an overview of Belgian history. It includes a grand Renaissance Flemish town square, farmhouses, mills, craft shops, etc. Park staff demonstrate traditional activities like lace making. There are also fishing ponds, a deer park, horse-cart rides, and one of Belgium's biggest playgrounds with some amazing slides.
Predictably, we spent all of our time at the playground. Elisabeth and Kate enjoyed the Viking themed playground, pony rides, g0-cart rides and the slides. It was a rainy day so we enjoyed a hot chocolate and the indoor playground in the afternoon.
Sunday was Socialist Solidarity Day at Bokrijk. Free admission!
