Oostende Voor Anker

Highlight • Historical Site

During this weekend, the docks are full of maritime heritage. The quays are filled with maritime stands. Music resounds in the squares. A snack and a drink is quickly found. Every year there is a specific theme.

Nelson Mandela Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The bridge over the Koninginnevijver is an important link in functional bicycle traffic between the neighborhoods and the city center. On Wednesday, January 22, 2014, the bridge was given the name Nelson Mandela Bridge. The Ambassador of the Republic of South Africa unveiled the nameplate. The bridge symbolizes the long road to freedom, from one bank to the other, that Nelson Mandela (July 18, 1918 – December 5, 2013) preceded us. Mandela: Madiba, freedom fighter, bridge builder, reconciler, human. He spent 27 years in prison, but after his release he reconciled and united white, black and colored South Africans.

De Haan town centre

Highlight • Settlement

De Haan looks completely different than the rest of the coast. The then King Leopold II made some editions for the development of the coastal strip at the end of the 19th century. So the houses had to be free-standing and the Anglo-Norman architectural style for all villas to be respected. Today, the houses of the picturesque resort are immediately striking when you arrive.

When the weather is nice, we cycled along the coast.
Treated to a little ice cream 🍨 in De Haan, then continue via Bredene to Ostend.
As is so often the case here, we bought fresh fish (directly at the port) for dinner and drove back.

At the end we were treated to a Kriek on the beach.
