In the middle of Antwerp is the Brabo Fountain – depicting the founder of the city throwing a hand. The is some old Fairytale thingy, about a giant that guarded a river crossing, if you didnt pay him before crossing – he would cut of your hand….as you do

This also is related to the name of the town, the old word for throw and hand – hand throw – Antwerpen… Wikipedia has the details 🙂

These are probably the only pictures from Antwerpen with some sun in them – it was freezing cold and training pretty much all the time.
