This day I spent together with children from Heusden- Zolder. We had a trip to Bokrijk Open Air Museum. As we were a big group we slit in small groups. So our journey could start. But, first of all, a little bit about the museum.
The domain of Bokrijk is some 550 ha large and consist of woods, gardens, farmland and ponds. Most of all, the Bokrijk Open Air Museum is known for its magnificent collection of old Flemish houses and farms. A large part of the Flemish countryside must have look like this around 1850. There are more than 100 historic buildings taken from locations all over Belgium and restored to their original condition piece by numbered piece there in the park. The buildings are open to the public with original furniture, tools and authentic household goods inside and even better, often in use. You can walk through the entire park and admire the cottages and farms of the different Flemish provinces: East and West Flanders, The Campine region, Brabant, and of course Limburg.

You can imagine how it is to go in tour with together with children. One moment they are with you, another – you can’t find them. :) They are running around with such an enthusiasm and joy. More than that – in this museum there are lot of attractions especially for children – archery, karaoke, etc. And of course, they want to try completely everything.

About me, I really liked nature, buildings and botanical gardens. This place was amazing. Is for sure that I will visit this place again. :)
After the museum we went to Flanders' largest open air playground. I suppose that children were waiting for this moment all day. I was surprised about their fearlessness and energy to try all attractions, by the way, also the biggest ones. I was too scared to try them.
Today I spent the day with the lovely 6 children, wandering through Belgian time and space. It was amazing. Thank you Brigitte for taking me there, I loved it. And Lotte, you are amazing and beautiful girl. But it is impossible to learn English language in one day.
