#autumn in Lier
Schapenkoppen or the Sheep's Head Monument in Lier, Belgium tells of the interesting and humourous history of Lier.

Legend says in the 15th century, Duke John II wanted to thank the people of Lier for their services during his struggle with the people of Mechelen. They could choose their reward, either a cattle market or a university. They chose the cattle market. The Duke's response? "Oh, the sheep heads!" To which the people of Lier are lovingly called this day.
The beguinage at Lier in Belgium is full of surprises and wonderful buildings. Saint Margarita is free to enter and we were the only people exploring the church. If you love historical architecture, you must visit the beguinage's in Belgium. Construction of Saint Margarita began in 1664.
To explore the beguinage at Lier is to step back into the Middle Ages when women who were left behind had to fend for themselves. Many of their husbands and men went to fight in the Crusades and never returned. This led the women to an incredible resiliency where they lived a religious life but were free to leave anytime. 

People live in these dwellings; however, the streets are serene. A perfect spot for street photography and exploration.
Lier is also referred to as the Bruges of the Antwerp Province, though luckily it's not as discovered as Bruges. The city is surrounded - inside and out - by the river Nete and canals. The Buyldragershuisje is situated next to Het Fortuin and dates back to the 17th century. Back in the day, it was used as a storage space and as a guildhall for the dockers. Today, you can sit down below it on a wooden deck and enjoy the sun and water.

Family getaway in Leuven
A centrally located appartment hotel in the heart of Leuven. The standard is a bit worn, and the cleanliness was not perfect, but the room was comfortable and with the necessary amenities. The city is good for a family getaway with some nice parks nearby.

Great hotel
Stayed 3 days with my wife and our son. Location was good, many food and restaurants nearby. A bit old hotel but the service was good. The room was so big with everthing you will need.
